4.3-5. Heat Loss with Trial-and-Error Solution. The exhaust duct from a heater has an inside diameter of 114.3 mm with ceramic walls 6.4 mm thick. The average k = 1.52 W/mK. Outside this wall, an insulation of rock wool 102 mm thick is installed. The thermal conductivity of the rock wool is k = 0.046 + 1.56x10-4 T OC (W/mK). The inside surface temperature of the ceramic is T1 = 588.7 K, and the outside surface temperature of the insulation T3 = 311 K. Calculate the heat loss for 1.5 m duct and the interface temperature T2 between the ceramic and the insulation. [Hint: the correct value of km for the insulation is the elevated at the mean temperature of (T2 + T3 )/2. Hence, for the first trial assume a mean temperature of, say, 448 K. Then calculate the heat loss and T2. Using this new, T2, calculate a new mean temperature and proceed as before.]

SolutionGiven: D1 = 0.1143 m thick2 = 0.0064 m thick3 = 0.102 m K2 = 1.52 W/mK K3 = 0.046 W/mK T1 = 588.7 K T2 = ? T3 = 311 K L = 1.5 q = (588.7 – 311) / RT

Assume : Tm = 448 K = 175 OC , T2 = 585 K Km = 0.0733 W/mK

Di2 = 0.1143 m Do2 = 0.1143 + 2(0.0064) = 0.1271 m

R2 =

Di3 = 0.1271 m Do3 = 0.1271 + 2(0.102) = 0.3311 m

Solution

R3 =

q = (588.7 – 311)/(0.0074 +1.3859) = 199.31 W

199.31 W = (588.7 –T2)/0.0074

T2 = 587.23 K * 5% difference is valid

Therefore: T2 = 585 K , q = 199.31 W

SolutionUse: T2 = 587.23 K

Tm = 449.12 K = 176.12 OCKm = 0.0735 W/mK

R3 =

q = (588.7 – 311)/(0.0074 + 1.3822) = 199.84 W199.84 = (588.7 – T2)/0.0074T2 = 587.22 KTherefore:

T2 = 587.23 K q = 199.84 W

4.3-1. Insulation Needed for Food Cold Storage Room. A food cold storage room is to be constructed of an internal layer of 19.1 mm of pine wood, a middle layer of cork board, and an outer layer of 50.8 mm of concrete. The inside wall surface temperature is -17.8 OC and the outside surface temperature is 29.4 OC at the outer concrete surface. The mean conductivities are for pine, 0.151; cork, 0.0433; and concrete, 0.762 W/mK.The total inside surface area of the room to use in the calculation is approximately 39m2 (neglecting corner and end effects). What thickness of cork board is needed to keep the heat loss to 586 W?

Solution

586W = 302.4 – 255.2 0.003243 + ΔX2 + 0.001709 0.0433(39)
