    HW-4-
    1- A spherical vessel of ID: 0.3 m and thickness of 20 mm is made of steel with
    conductivity of 40 W/mK. The vessel is insulated with two layers of 60 mm thickness of
    conductivity 0.05 and 0.15 W/mK. The inside surface is at – 196°C. The outside is
    exposed to air at 30°C with convection coefficient of 35 W/m2K. There is a contact
    resistance of 1 × 10–3 m2°C/W between the two insulations. Determine the heat gain and
    also the surface temperatures and the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outside
    surface area of the metallic vessel.
    (Ans: 76.6 W, 0.932 W/m2 K., – 195.88°C, – 8.75°C.,)

    2-A hollow sphere is constructed of aluminum (k=204 W/m.K) with an inner diameter of 4
    cm and an outer diameter of 8 cm. The inside temperature is 100◦C and the outer
    temperature is 50◦C. Calculate the heat transfer. Answ(5127 W)

    3-- A spherical tank, 1 m in diameter, is maintained at a temperature of 120◦C and exposed


    to a convection environment with h=25W/m2 ・ ◦C and T∞ =15◦C, what thickness of
    urethane foam (k=18W/m.k) should be added to ensure that the outer temperature of the
    insulation does not exceed 40◦C? What percentage reduction in heat loss results from
    installing this insulation? (Ans: Case 1: 8247 W, case-2: 1982 W, 76%)

    4- A spherical container of negligible thickness holding a hot fluid at 140C and having an
    outer diameter of 0.4 m is insulated with three layers of each 50 mm thick insulation of k1
    = 0.02: k2 = 0.06 and k3 = 0.16 W/mK. (Starting from inside). The outside surface
    temperature is 30C. Determine (i) the heat loss, and (ii) Interface temperatures of
    insulating layers.
    Answ(22W,54C,35C)

    5- A spherical vessel containing hot fluid at 160°C is of 0.4 m OD and is made of


    Titanium (20 W/mK) of 25 mm thickness. The vessel is insulated with two layers of 5 cm
    thick insulations of thermal conductivities 0.06 and 0.12 W/mK. There is a contact
    resistance of 6 × 10–4 and 5 × 10–4 m2 °C/W between the metal and first insulation and
    between the insulating layers respectively. The outside is exposed to surrounding at 30°C
    with a convection coefficient of 15 W/m2K. Determine the rate of heat loss, the interface
    temperatures and the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the metal surface area.
