THIRD REVIEW PRQ 3232 I/2020

1. Figure shows a cross section of a long cooling fin of width w, thickness t, and thermal conductivity k that
is bonded to a hot wall, maintaining its base (at x = 0) at a temperature T w. Heat is conducted steadily
through the fin in the plane of Fig. so that the fin temperature T obeys Laplace's equation. (Temperature
variations along the length of the fin in the z-direction are ignored.).
Heat is lost from the sides and tip of the fin by convection to the surrounding air (radiation is neglected
at sufficiently low temperatures). Here, Ts is the temperature of surface, and Tα is the temperature of air
in degrees Fahrenheit, are the temperatures at a point on the fin surface and of the air, respectively.
The heat transfer coefficient h obeys the dimensional correlation h =0.21(Ts-Tα)1/3 [BTU/(ft2 h °F)].
(a) Set up the equations for a numerical solution of this problem to determine the temperature every
0.25 in.
(b) Describe in detail the step-by-step procedure for solving the equation of part (a) and evaluating the
temperature within the fin and at the surface.
(c) Solve the problem numerically using the following quantities:

Tw=200°F Tα=70°F t=0.75 in w=1.0 in k=25.9 BTU/(h ft °F)

(d) Graph the surface temperatures of the fin on the x-axis

1. There is a urea solution contained in a 1 cm inner diameter

tube with an initial concentration of 0.02 gr / l. A
semipermeable membrane connects the tube with a vial that
has a urea solution with 2 gr / l. Another membrane connects
it with a reagent with which the urea reacts to disappear
instantly. If it is considered that the urea diffusion occurs only
in the longitudinal direction of the tube, calculate the urea
concentration along the tube, after 10 minutes. The
diffusivity of urea is 0.017 cm2/h . Apply Δx= 2 cm, λ=1/6.
Graph only the final result.

NOTE: THE EXAM MUST BE COMPLETED AT 18:30... YOU WILL THEN HAVE 10 MINUTES TO SEND
THE PROGRAM ON FILE “m”. YOU WILL THEN HAVE 20 MINUTES TO SEND THE SCANNED MODEL
IN PDF FILE. ONCE MOODLE IS CLOSED, THE EXAM CANNOT BE SUBMITTED BY ANY OTHER
MEANS. YOU MUST CONTROL YOUR TIMES.

THE FILE "m" MUST CARRY "apellido_nombre_P1.m" (P1 question 1, P2 question 2)

THE LEAVES MUST BEAR THEIR NAME AND C.I.
