1. A steel tube (k = 43.26 W/mK ) of 5.08 cm inner diameter and 7.62 cm outer diameter
is covered with 2.5 cm layer of insulation ( k= 0.208 W/mK ) the inside surface of the
tube receivers heat from a hot gas at the temperature of 316 C with heat transfer coefficient of 28 W/ m2K . While the outer surface exposed to the ambient air at 30 C
with heat transfer co-efficient of 17 W/ m2K. Calculate heat loss for 3m length of the
tube.
or
A copper wire of 1 m long is used as a heating element in a 13 kW heater. The copper
surface temperature is 1300 C, ambient air temperature is 22 C, outside surface co
efficient is 1.1 kW /mK. Thermal conductivity and resistance of the copper are 15
W/mK and 0.21 respectively. Calculate the following

Diameter of copper wire & (ii) Rate of current flow.
2. A plane wall 10 cm thick generates heat at the rate of 4x10 4 W/m3 when an electric
current is passed through it. The convective heat transfer co efficient between each
face of the wall and the ambient air is 50 W/mK. Determine the surface temperature
or
A wire of 6mm diameter with 2mm thick insulation (K=0.11W/mK) if the convective
heat transfer co-efficient between the insulating surface and air is 25W/mK, find the
critical thickness of insulation. And also find the percentage of change in heat transfer
rate if critical radius is used.
3. 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
or
A large wall 2cm thick has uniform temperature 30C initially and the wall temperature
is suddenly raised and maintained at 400C. Find the temperature at a depth of 0.8 cm
from the surface of the wall after 10s.
4. A 12cm diameter long bar initially at a uniform temperature of 40C is placed in a
medium at 650C with a convective co-efficient of 22W/mK. Determine the time
required for the center to reach 255C. For the material of the long bar, K=20W/mK,
density = 580 kg/m, specific heat = 1050 J/kg K.
or
Alloy steel ball of 1.5cm diameter heated to 700C and quenched in a bath at 100C.
