A common arrangement for heating a large surface area is to move warm air through rectangular ducts below the surface. The ducts are square and located midway between the top and bottom surfaces that are exposed to room air and insulated, respectively. For the condition when the floor and duct temperatures are 30C and 80C, respectively, and the thermal conductivity of concrete is 1.4 W/m*K, calculate the heat rate from each duct, per unit length of the duct. Use a grid spacing with delta x = 2*(delta y), where delta y = 0.125L and L=150mm.

An industrial freezer is designed to operate with an internal air temperature of -
18°C when the external air temperature is 29°C, and the internal and external heat
transfer coefficients are 8 W/m²-K and 12 W/m²-K, respectively. The walls of the
freezer are composite construction, comprising an inner layer of plastic (k = 0.33
W/m-K, and thickness of 10 mm), and an outer layer of stainless steel (k = 15 W/m-
K, and thickness of 3 mm). Sandwiched between these two layers is a layer of
insulation material with k = 0.07 W/m-K. Find the width (mm) of the insulation that
is required to reduce the convective heat loss to 35 W/m².
8.71 A 50-mm-diameter, thin-walled metal pipe covered with
a 25-mm-thick layer of insulation (0.085 W/m.K) and
carrying superheated steam at atmospheric pressure is
suspended from the ceiling of a large room. The steam
temperature entering the pipe is 120°C, and the air tem-
perature is 20°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient
on the outer surface of the covered pipe is 10 W/m².K.
If the velocity of the steam is 10 m/s, at what point along
the pipe will the steam begin condensing?
