STEADY STATE CONDUCTION

Heat loss from an insulated pipe. A standard schedule 40,2-in.
steel pipe (inside diameter 2.067 in. and wall thickness 0.154 in.)
carrying steam is insulated with 2 in. of 85% magnesia covered in turn
with 2 in. of cork. Estimate the heat loss per hour per foot of pipe if the
inner surface of the pipe is at 250F and the outer surface of the cork
is at 90F. The thermal conductivities (in Btu/hr ft . F) of the substances
concerned are: steel, 26.1; 85% magnesia, 0.04; cork, 0.03.

Answer: 24 Btu/ hr - ft

UNSTEADY STATE CONDUCTION

Cooking Hard Boiled Egg. An egg, which for the purpose of this
problem can be assumed to be a 5-cm diameter sphere having the
thermal properties of water, is initially at a temperature of 4 C. It is
immersed in boiling water at 100 C for 5 min. The heat transfer
coefficient from the water to the egg can be assumed to be 1700 W/m 2
- K. What is the temperature of the egg center at the end of the
cooking period?

FORCED CONVECTION:
Two fans are available for cooling the box: Fan A is three phase 15500
rpm that has a 25 Watts motor. Fan B is single phase, with an 18 Watts
motor that operates at 11000 rpm at sea level. The box must be
examined in two phases to ensure the integrity of the complete design.
In phase 1, the thermal design of the box is examined, with the
proposed fan, to make sure the component hot spot temperature of
100C (212F) is not exceeded. In phase 2, the electronic chassis
airflow impedance curve is developed and matched with several fans,
to make sure there is sufficient cooling air available for the system.
What is the sufficient surface temperature for the system to not exceed
the hot spot temperature?

Consider a diffuse circular disk of diameter D and area Aj and a plane
diffuse surface of area Ai << Aj. The surfaces are parallel, and Ai is
located at a distance L from the center of Aj. Obtain an expression for
