    For instructor/grader use only:


    Problem 1 Problem 3
    Problem 2 Problem 4

    1. (5-pts) A 4-in.-OD pipe is to be used to transport liquid metals and will have an outside surface
    temperature of 1400°F under operating conditions. Insulation is 6 in. thick and has a thermal
    conductivity expressed as
    k = 0.08(1 – 0.003 T)
    where k is in Btu/h ft °F and T is in °F, is applied to the outside surface of the pipe.
    a. What thickness of insulation would be required for the outside insulation temperature to be
    no higher than 300°F?
    b. What heat-flow rate will occur under these conditions?

    2. (5-pts) A double window called thermopane is one in which two layers of glass are separated
    by a layer of dry, stagnant air. In a given window, each of the glass layers is 6.35 mm thick
    separated by a 6.35-mm space of stagnant air. The thermal conductivity of the glass is 0.869
    W/m-K and that of air is 0.026 over the temperature range used. For a temperature drop of 27.8
    K over the system, calculate the heat loss for a window 0.914 m x 1.83m. NEGLECT ALL
    CONVECTIVE EFFECTS.

    3. (10-pts) A spherical shell with inner and outer dimensions of ri and ro, respectively, has surface
    temperatures Ti(ri) and To(ro). Assuming constant properties and one-dimensional (radial)
    conduction, plot the temperature distribution, T(r). Give reasons for the shape you have
    sketched.

    4. (15-pts) Consider a long CYLINDRICAL nuclear fuel rod, surrounded by an annular layer of
    aluminum cladding. Within the fuel rod, heat is produced by fission; this heat source depends
    on position approximately
    𝑟 2
    𝑆𝑛 = 𝑆𝑛0 [1 + 𝑏 ( ) ]
    𝑅𝐹

    Here Sn0 and b are known constants, and r is the radial coordinate
    measured from the axis of the cylindrical fuel rod. Calculate the
    maximum temperature in the fuel rod if the outer surface of the
    cladding is at temperature TL. The thermal conductivities of the fuel
    rod and cladding are kF and kC.
