KNOWN: Steady-state, one-dimensional heat conduction through an axisymmetric shape.

FIND: Sketch temperature distribution and explain shape of curve.

SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Steady-state, one-dimensional conduction, (2) Constant properties, (3) No internal heat generation.

ANALYSIS: Performing an energy balance on the object according to Eq. 1, EEin−=out 0 , it

follows that

EE qin−=out x

and that qqxxx≠ b g. That is, the heat rate within the object is everywhere constant. From Fourier’s

law,

qkA

dT xxdx =− ,

and since qx and k are both constants, it follows that

A

dT dx x =Constant.

That is, the product of the cross-sectional area normal to the heat rate and temperature gradient

remains a constant and independent of distance x. It follows that since Ax increases with x, then dT/dx must decrease with increasing x. Hence, the temperature distribution appears as shown above.

COMMENTS: (1) Be sure to recognize that dT/dx is the slope of the temperature distribution. (2)

What would the distribution be when T 2 > T 1? (3) How does the heat flux, q′′x, vary with distance?

KNOWN: Hot water pipe covered with thick layer of insulation.

FIND: Sketch temperature distribution and give brief explanation to justify shape.

SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Steady-state conditions, (2) One-dimensional (radial) conduction, (3) No internal heat generation, (4) Insulation has uniform properties independent of temperature and position.

ANALYSIS: Fourier’s law, Eq. 2, for this one-dimensional (cylindrical) radial system has the form

rr ()

dT dT qkA k 2 r dr dr

=− =− πA

where Ar= 2 πr and AA is the axial length of the pipe-insulation system. Recognize that for steady-

state conditions with no internal heat generation, an energy balance on the system requires

EE sin==out ince EEg st= 0. Hence

qr = Constant.

That is, qr is independent of radius (r). Since the thermal conductivity is also constant, it follows that

dT r Constant. dr

⎡⎤ ⎢⎥= ⎣⎦

This relation requires that the product of the radial temperature gradient, dT/dr, and the radius, r, remains constant throughout the insulation. For our situation, the temperature distribution must appear as shown in the sketch.

COMMENTS: (1) Note that, while qr is a constant and independent of r, q′r′ is not a constant. How

does qr′′rbg vary with r? (2) Recognize that the radial temperature gradient, dT/dr, decreases with

increasing radius.

KNOWN: Symmetric shape with prescribed variation in cross-sectional area, temperature distribution and heat rate.

FIND: Expression for the thermal conductivity, k.

SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Steady-state conditions, (2) One-dimensional conduction in x-direction, (3) No internal heat generation.

ANALYSIS: Applying the energy balance, Eq. 1, to the system, it follows that, since

EEin= out,

qx=≠Constant f x .()

Using Fourier’s law, Eq. 2, with appropriate expressions for Ax and T, yields

COMMENTS: (1) At x = 0, k = 10W/m⋅K and k → ∞ as x → 1. (2) Recognize that the 1-D assumption is an approximation which becomes more inappropriate as the area change with x, and hence two-dimensional effects, become more pronounced.

KNOWN: End-face temperatures and temperature dependence of k for a truncated cone.

FIND: Variation with axial distance along the cone of q q k, and dT / dx,,′′

SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional conduction in x (negligible temperature gradients in the r direction), (2) Steady-state conditions, (3) Adiabatic sides, (4) No internal heat generation.

ANALYSIS: For the prescribed conditions, it follows from conservation of energy, Eq. 1, that for

a differential control volume, EE oin==out r qqxx+dx. Hence

qx is independent of x.

Since A(x) increases with increasing x, it follows that qq/xx′′ = Ax( ) decreases with increasing x.

Since T decreases with increasing x, k increases with increasing x. Hence, from Fourier’s law, Eq. 2,

qk′′=−

dT x dx ,

it follows that | dT/dx | decreases with increasing x.

COMMENT: How is the analysis changed if a has a negative value?

KNOWN: Irradiation and absorptivity of aluminum, glass and aerogel.

FIND: Ability of the protective barrier to withstand the irradiation in terms of the temperature gradients that develop in response to the irradiation.

SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional conduction in the x-direction, (2) Constant properties, (c) Negligible emission and convection from the exposed surface.

PROPERTIES: Table A, pure aluminum (300 K): kal = 238 W/m⋅K. Table A, glass (300 K): kgl = 1 W/m⋅K.

KNOWN: Two-dimensional body with specified thermal conductivity and two isothermal surfaces of prescribed temperatures; one surface, A, has a prescribed temperature gradient.

F IND: Temperature gradients, ∂T/∂x and ∂T/∂y, at the surface B.

SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Two-dimensional conduction, (2) Steady-state conditions, (3) No heat generation, (4) Constant properties.

ANALYSIS: At the surface A, the temperature gradient in the x-direction must be zero. That is,

(∂T/∂x)A = 0. This follows from the requirement that the heat flux vector must be normal to an isothermal surface. The heat rate at the surface A is given by Fourier’s law written as

That is, the product of the cross-sectional area and the temperature gradient is a constant, independent of x. Hence, with T(0) > T(L), the temperature distribution is exponential, and as shown in the sketch above. Separating variables and integrating Eq.

We could use the two temperature boundary conditions, To = T(0) and TL = T(L), to evaluate C 1 and C 2

and, hence, obtain the temperature distribution in terms of To and TL.

The plot is shown below.

COMMENT: Nanoscale effects become less significant as the thickness of the film is increased.

KNOWN: Electrical heater sandwiched between two identical cylindrical (30 mm dia. × 60 mm

length) samples whose opposite ends contact plates maintained at To.

FIND: (a) Thermal conductivity of SS316 samples for the prescribed conditions (A) and their average temperature, (b) Thermal conductivity of Armco iron sample for the prescribed conditions (B), (c) Comment on advantages of experimental arrangement, lateral heat losses, and conditions for which

∆T 1 ≠ ∆T 2.

SCHEMATIC:

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional heat transfer in samples, (2) Steady-state conditions, (3) Negligible contact resistance between materials.

PROPERTIES: Table A , Stainless steel 316 (T=400 K : k) ss=15 W/m K;⋅ Armco iron

The total temperature drop across the length of the sample is ∆T 1 (L/∆x) = 25°C (60 mm/15 mm) =

We compare the calculated value of k with the tabulated value (see above) at 400 K and note the good agreement.

The total drop across the iron sample is 15°C(60/15) = 60°C; the heater temperature is (77 + 60)°C = 137 °C. Hence the average temperature of the iron sample is

We compare the computed value of k with the tabulated value (see above) at 380 K and note the good agreement.

(c) The principal advantage of having two identical samples is the assurance that all the electrical power dissipated in the heater will appear as equivalent heat flows through the samples. With only one sample, heat can flow from the backside of the heater even though insulated.

Heat leakage out the lateral surfaces of the cylindrically shaped samples will become significant when the sample thermal conductivity is comparable to that of the insulating material. Hence, the method is suitable for metallics, but must be used with caution on nonmetallic materials.

For any combination of materials in the upper and lower position, we expect ∆T 1 = ∆T 2. However, if the insulation were improperly applied along the lateral surfaces, it is possible that heat leakage will

occur, causing ∆T 1 ≠ ∆T 2.
