Figure 1: Graph of temperature drop (C) against time (minute) for glass bottle
Figure 1 show the graph of temperature drop (C) against time (minute) for glass bottle.
Initially the water is boil at temperature of 94C using electronic cattle and the hot water then
is poured into the glass bottle covered with fibre wool. The surroundings temperatures by
doing this project are 27.0 C. Since it have fan inside the room it may be effected the
thermal insulation, but it is decided that to ignore the heat transfer by external force
convection. The initial temperatures of the water for this experiment are 89C. The graph
shows that the temperature of the water is slightly drop by time. The temperature of the water
is taken in every 2 minute for 10 minute and the readings are as shown in table 1.

Figure 2: Graph of temperature drop (TC) against time (minute) for glass covered with fibre
wool
The figure 2 shown the temperatures drop by doing this project are 8.0 C. Since it
have fan inside the room it may be effected the thermal insulation, but it is decided that to
ignore the heat transfer by external force convection. The initial temperatures of the water for
this experiment are 89C. The temperature of the water is taken in every 2 minute for 10
minute and the readings are as shown in table 1. The temperature difference in this
experiment are 16 C. The thermal conductivity for soil are 0.04 W/m. . The area and the
length of the glass water is 0.0329m and 0.150 m respectively. By avoiding the heat transfer
by radiation and forced convection the total resistance in this experiment are 5.233 C/W.
From the information above, the rate of heat transfer can be calculated. The rate of heat
transfer for this experiment are 1.529 W per m container length. Thats means each length of
the container capable to transfer 1.529 W per meter length of the container. Some error might
be found in this experiment, such as the hot water need to transfer to the container take about
5 seconds, therefore it might be affected the initial temperature. In this experiment, it cannot
use the full performance of insulation of the fibre since the opening of the container was not
insulated by the fibre wool. Thus, we can say that the water glass bottle covered with
insulator release less heat compared to the glass bottle without with insulator.
CALCULATION
A steam glass bottle covered with 4.55mm thick fibre wool insulation is subjected to
convection on its surface. The rate of heat transfer per unit length and the temperature drops
across the glass bottle and the insulation are to be determined.
Assumption:

time.
Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about
iii.
iv.
The thermal conductivies are given to be K= 0.8 W/m.C for glass bottle and K= 0.04
W/m.C for fibre wool insulation and length of glass bottle are L=105mm.
The rate of heat transfer coefficient are given to be h = 25 W/m.C for air surrounding and h
= 40 W/m.C for steam.
The inner and the outer surface of the insulated pipe per unit length are
A i=2 riL=2 ( 0.03492 m )( 0.150 m )=0.0329m
A o=2 riL=2 ( 0.03972 m )( 0.150 m )=0.0372 m
