ME8693 – HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
ASSIGNMENT – 1

Answer all questions

1. Derive the general 3D heat conduction equation in Cartesian coordinates.

2. Obtain an expression for the temperature profile of an infinitely long fin of


uniform cross section from basic principles and hence calculate the heat
transfer by fin.

3. Derive an expression for critical radius of insulation for a cylindrical system


and write the different types of fin.

4. A slab of aluminum 120 mm thick is initially at a temperature of 600o C. It is


suddenly immersed in a liquid at 120o C, resulting in a heat transfer co-
efficient of 1400 W/m2K. Calculate the following,
1. Temperature at the centre line after 1 minute
2. Temperature at the surface.
3. Total thermal energy removed per unit area.

5. Derive the equation for heat transfer through a composite cylinders or pipes
with inside and outside convection.
