Derive an expression for the temperature distribution and rate of heat transfer for a pin fin , when the tip of the fin is insulated. Explain the following I. Kirchoffs Law II. Stefan Boltznman Law III. Wiens Displacement Law IV. Planks Law A rod (K = 200W/mK) 5mm in diameter long has its one end maintained at 100C. The surface of the rod is exposed to ambient air at 25C with convection heat transfer coefficient of 100 w/m 2K. Assuming other end insulated, determine: I. The temperature of the rod at 20 mm distance from the end at 100C II. Heat dissipation rate from the surface of the rod III. Effectiveness

Que. 4 The inside of a furnace wall is at 1000C and with the existing wall of material with thermal conductivity of 1.7 W/mK looses 2.5 kW/m2 when the outside is exposed to convection to air at 30C with h = 27 W/m 2K. Determine the wall thickness. Additionally 75 mm thickness of insulation with k = 0.15 W/mK is added on the inside. The furnace wall temperature and the surrounding temperature and convection coefficient remain unchanged. Determine the reduction in heat flow and reduction in the outside surface temperature. Also find the overall heat transfer coefficient and the temperature gradient in each layer. The wall area is 3m2. Also find the temperature gradient in the flow direction. Que. 2 A surface is at 200C and has an area of 2m 2. It exchanges heat with another surface B at 30C by radiation. The value of factor due to the geometric location and emissivity is 0.46. Determine the heat exchange. Also find the value of thermal resistance and equivalent convection coefficient. A furnace wall is of three layers, first layer of insulation brick of 12 cm thickness of conductivity 0.6W/mK. The face is exposed to gases at 870C with a convection coefficient of 110W/m 2K. This layer is backed by a 10cm layer of firebrick of conductivity 0.8W/mK. There is a constant resistance between layers of 2.6 X 10-4 m2C/W. The third layer is the plate backing 10mm thickness of conductivity 49W/mK. The constant resistance between the second and third layer is 1.5 X 10-4mC/W. The plate is exposed to air at 30C with a convection coefficient of 15 W/m 2K. Determine the heat flow, surface temperatures and the overall heat transfer coefficient.
