1) A composite wall is made up of an external thickness of brickwork 110 mm thick inside which is a layer

of fiberglass 75 mm thick. The fiberglass is faced internally by an insulating board 25 mm thick. The
coefficient of thermal conductivity for the three are as follows:
Brickwork
1.5 W/m-0C
Fiberglass
0.04 W/m-0C
Insulating Board
0.06 W/m-0C
The surface film coefficient of the wall is 3.1 W/m 2-0C while that of the outside wall is 2.5 W/m2-0C. Take the
internal ambient temperature as 10 0C and the external temperature is 27 0C. Determine the heat loss
through such wall 6 m high and 10 m long.
2) Hot gases at 280 0C flow on one side of a metal (k = 50 W/m- 0C) plate of 10 mm thickness and air at 35
0
C flows on the other side. The film coefficient of the gases is 31.5 W/m 2-0C and that of the air is 32 W/m20
C. Calculate the rate of heat transfer per unit area through the wall.
3) The surface temperature of the hot side of the furnace wall is 1200 0C. It is desired to maintain the
outside of the wall at 38 0C. A 152 mm of refractory silica is used adjacent to the combustion chamber and
10 mm of steel covers the outside. What thickness of insulating bricks is necessary between refractory and
steel, if the heat loss should be kept at 788 W/m2? Use k=13.84 W//(m-K) for refractory silica; 0.15 W/(mK)for insulating brick, and 45 W/(m-K) for steel.
4) Air at 20 0C blows over a hot plate 50 by 75 cm maintained at 250 0C. The convection heat-transfer
coefficient is 25 W/m2-0C. Calculate the heat transfer.
5) An electric current is passed through a wire 1 mm in diameter and 10 cm long. The wire is submerged in
liquid water at atmospheric pressure, and the currents is increased until the water boils. For this situation
h = 5000 W/m2-0C, and the water temperature will be 100 0C. How much electric power must be supplied
to the wire to maintain the wire surface at 114 0C?
