1 PROBLEM 5.1 NOWN: Electrical heater attached to backside of plate while front surface is exposed to convection process (T,h); initially plate is at a uniform temperature of the ambient air and suddenly heater power is switched on providing a constant q o. FIND: (a) Sketch temperature distribution, T(x,t), (b) Sketch the heat flux at the outer surface, q L,t as a function of time. x ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional conduction, () Constant properties, (3) Negligible heat loss from heater through insulation. ANALYSIS: (a) The temperature distributions for four time conditions including the initial distribution, T(x,0), and the steady-state distribution, T(x, ), are as shown above. Note that the temperature gradient at x = 0, -dt/dx) x=0, for t > 0 will be a constant since the flux, q x ( 0, ) is a constant. Noting that T o = T(0, ), the steady-state temperature distribution will be linear such that To T( L, ) q = k = h T( L, ) T. o L q x L,t = k dt/dx. From the x=l temperature distribution, we can construct the heat flux-time plot. (b) The heat flux at the front surface, x = L, is given by COMMENTS: At early times, the temperature and heat flux at x = L will not change from their initial values. Hence, we show a zero slope for q x ( L,t) at early times. Eventually, the value of q x ( L,t) will reach the steady-state value which is q o.

FIND: me required for shaft centerline to reach a prescribed temperature. ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional, radial conduction, () Constant properties. PROPERTIES: AISI 1010 carbon steel, Table A.1 ( T = 550 ): ρ = 783 kg / m 3, k = 51. W/m, c = 541 J/kg, α = m /s. ANALYSIS: The Biot number is hr o / 100 W/m ( 0.05 m/) Bi= = = k 51. W/m Hence, the lumped capacitance method can be applied. From Equation 5.6, T T has 4h = exp t = exp t T ρvc ρcd W/m ln t = = 783 kg/m J/kg 0.1 m t= 859 s. COMMENTS: To check the validity of the foregoing result, use the one-term approximation to the series solution. From Equation 5.49c, ( ς ) To T 400 = = 0.444= C 1 exp 1 Fo T 900 For Bi = hr o /k = , Table 5.1 yields ς 1 = and C 1 = Hence 5 ( 0.436) ( m /s) t= 915 s. ( 0.05 m) t = ln = The results agree to within 6%. The lumped capacitance method underestimates the actual time, since the response at the centerline lags that at any other location in the shaft.

FIND: (a) me required for surface of wall to reach a prescribed temperature, (b) Corresponding value of film surface temperature. ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Constant properties, () Negligible film thermal capacitance, (3) Negligible radiation. PROPERTIES: Carbon steel (given): ρ = 7850 kg/m 3, c = 430 J/kg, k = 60 W/m. ANALYSIS: The overall coefficient for heat transfer from the surface of the steel to the gas is U ( Rtot) Rf 10 = = + m /W 0 W/m. h = + = 5 W/m Hence, UL 0 W/m 0.01 m Bi = = = k 60 W/m and the lumped capacitance method can be used.

5 PROBLEM 5.49 (Cont.) 1000 Surface temperature, T() me, t(s) h = 50 W/m^. h = 50 W/m^. Increasing the convection coefficient by a factor of 5 has a significant effect on the surface temperature, greatly accelerating its approach to the oil temperature. However, even with h = 50 W/m, Bi = 1.1 and the convection resistance remains significant. Hence, in the interest of accelerated cooling, additional benefit could be achieved by further increasing the value of h. COMMENTS: For Part (a), note that, since Fo = 1.7 > 0., the approximate series solution is appropriate.

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional radial conduction, () Constant properties, (3) No heat losses from the rod when insulation is applied. PROPERTIES: Table A-, Aluminum oxide, sapphire (550): ρ = 3970 kg/m 3, c = 1068 J/kg, k =.3 W/m, α = m /s. ANALYSIS: First calculate the Biot number with L c = r o /, h L c h ( r o /) 1600 W/m ( 0.00 m/) Bi = = = = 0.7. k k.3 W/m Since Bi > 0.1, the rod cannot be approximated as a lumped capacitance system. The temperature distribution during the cooling process, 0 t 35s, and for the time following the application of insulation, t > 35s, will appear as Eventually (t ), the temperature of the rod will be uniform at T ( ). To find T, write the conservation of energy requirement for the rod on a time interval basis, Ein Eout = E Efinal E initial. Using the nomenclature of Section and basing energy relative to T, the energy balance becomes Q = ρ cv( T( ) T ) Qo where Q o = ρcv(t i - T ). Dividing through by Q o and solving for T ( ), find T( ) = T + ( T T )( 1 Q/Q ). i o From the Groeber chart, Figure D.6, with hr o 1600 W/m 0.00m Bi= = = 1.43 k.3 W/m ( α o ) ( ) Bi Fo = Bi t/r = m /s 35s/ 0.00m = find Q/Q o Hence, T 300 ( ) ( ) 515. = + = COMMENTS: From use of Figures D.4 and D.5, find T(0,35s) = 55 and T(r o,35s) = 43.

Large k implies an ability to spread the effect by conduction; large ρc implies a large capacity for thermal energy storage.
