Problem 10-63
A 5-m-wide, 4-m-high, and 40-m-long kiin used to cure concrete pipes is
made of 20-cm-thick concrete walls and ceiling (k = 0.9 W/m °C). The
kiln is maintained at 40°C by injecting hot steam into it. The two ends of
the kiln (4 m x 5 m in size) are made of 3-mm-thick sheet metal covered
with 2-cm-thick styrofoam (k = 0.033 W/m °C). h,__ = 3000 W/m? °C and
Danes 25 W/m?°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from the kiln when the
ambient air is at 4°C. Assume the kiln is sitting on the floor with negli-
gible heat transfer through the floor.
Area, = 2X 40x (4-04) + 1x 40x (5—0.4) = 472 m?
For convection
Area gige = 2X40x4 + 1x40x5 = 520m
For Conduction:
Area... 4. 2X 40x (4—0.2) + 1x40x(5~0.2) = 496m? —_ (effective area)
Areas = (4~0.2) x (5—0.2) = 18.24 m? (average one side)Problem 10-63 (Continued)
