PROBLEM SHEET-01

Q1-

Calculate the heat loss per m2 surface area for an insulating wall composed of
25.4-mm-thick fiber insulating board, where inside temp is 352.7 K and the
outside temp is 297.1 K.

Q2-

A thick-walled cylindrical tubing of hard rubber having inside radius 5 mm and

outside radius 20 mm is being used as a cooling coil in a bath. Ice water is
flowing rapidly inside, and the inside wall temp is 274.9 K. The outside surface
temp is 297.1 K. A total of 14.65 W must be removed from the bath by the
cooling coil. How many m of tubing are needed?

Q3

Determine the rate of heat transfer by conduction per unit area, by means of

conduction for a furnace wall made of fire clay. Furnace wall thickness is 6" or
half a foot. Thermal conductivity of the furnace wall clay is 0.3 W/m·K. The
furnace wall temperature can be taken to be same as furnace operating
temperature which is 6500C and temperature of the outer wall of the furnace is
1500C.
