re, mperature.

Steady Heat Conduction in Plane Walls

3-1C The temperature distribution in a plane wall will be a straight line during steady and one dimensional heat transfer with constant wall thermal conductivity.

3-2C In steady heat conduction, the rate of heat transfer into the wall is equal to the rate of heat transfer out of it. Also, the temperature at any point in the wall remains constant. Therefore, the energy content of the wall does not change during steady heat conduction. However, the temperature along the wall and thus the energy content of the wall will change during transient conduction.

3-3C Convection heat transfer through the wall is expressed as = hA (^) s ( TsT ∞). In steady heat transfer, heat transfer rate

to the wall and from the wall are equal. Therefore at the outer surface which has convection heat transfer coefficient three times that of the inner surface will experience three times smaller temperature drop compared to the inner surface. Therefo at the outer surface, the temperature will be closer to the surrounding air te

Q

3-4C The new design introduces the thermal resistance of the copper layer in addition to the thermal resistance of the aluminum which has the same value for both designs. Therefore, the new design will be a poorer conductor of heat.

3-5C (a) If the lateral surfaces of the rod are insulated, the heat transfer surface area of the cylindrical rod is the bottom or

the top surface area of the rod,. (b) If the top and the bottom surfaces of the rod are insulated, the heat transfer

area of the rod is the lateral surface area of the rod,

As = π D^2 / 4

A = π DL.

3-6C The thermal resistance of a medium represents the resistance of that medium against heat transfer.

3-7C The combined heat transfer coefficient represents the combined effects of radiation and convection heat transfers on a surface, and is defined as h combined = h convection + h radiation. It offers the convenience of incorporating the effects of radiation in the convection heat transfer coefficient, and to ignore radiation in heat transfer calculations.

3-8C Yes. The convection resistance can be defined as the inverse of the convection heat transfer coefficient per unit surface area since it is defined as R (^) conv = 1 /( hA ).

3-9C The convection and the radiation resistances at a surface are parallel since both the convection and radiation heat transfers occur simultaneously.

3-21 A double-pane window consists of two layers of glass separated by an evacuated space. For specified indoors and outdoors temperatures, the rate of heat loss through the window and the inner surface temperature of the window are to be determined.

Assumptions 1 Heat transfer through the window is steady since the indoor and outdoor temperatures remain constant at the specified values. 2 Heat transfer is one-dimensional since any significant temperature gradients will exist in the direction from the indoors to the outdoors. 3 Thermal conductivity of the glass is constant. 4 Heat transfer by radiation is negligible.

Properties The thermal conductivity of the glass is given to be k glass = 0.78 W/m⋅°C.

Analysis Heat cannot be conducted through an evacuated space since the thermal conductivity of vacuum is zero (no medium to conduct heat) and thus its thermal resistance is zero. Therefore, if radiation is disregarded, the heat transfer through the window will be zero. Then the answer of this problem is zero since the problem states to disregard radiation.

Vacuum

Discussion In reality, heat will be transferred between the glasses by radiation. We do not know the inner surface temperatures of windows. In order to determine radiation heat resistance we assume them to be 5°C and 15°C, respectively, and take the emissivity to be 1. Then individual resistances are

Similarly, the inner surface temperatures of the glasses are calculated to be 13.1 and -1.7°C (we had assumed them to be 15 and 5°C when determining the radiation resistance). We can improve the result obtained by reevaluating the radiation resistance and repeating the calculations.

3-36 Two of the walls of a house have no windows while the other two walls have single- or double-pane windows. The average rate of heat transfer through each wall, and the amount of money this household will save per heating season by converting the single pane windows to double pane windows are to be determined.

Assumptions 1 Heat transfer through the window is steady since the indoor and outdoor temperatures remain constant at the specified values. 2 Heat transfer is one-dimensional since any significant temperature gradients will exist in the direction from the indoors to the outdoors. 3 Thermal conductivities of the glass and air are constant. 4 Heat transfer by radiation is disregarded.

Properties The thermal conductivities are given to be k = 0.026 W/m⋅°C for air, and 0.78 W/m⋅°C for glass.

Analysis The rate of heat transfer through each wall can be determined by applying thermal resistance network. The convection resistances at the inner and outer surfaces are common in all cases.
