QI: Consider a steel pan used to boil water on top of an electric range. The bottom
section of the pan is L = 0.3 cm thick and has a diameter of D = 20 cm. The electric
heating unit on the range top consumes 1250 W of power during cooking, and 85 percent
of the heat generated in the heating element is transferred uniformly to the pan. Heat
transfer from the top surface of the bottom section to the water is by convection with a
heat transfer coefficient of h Assuming constant thermal conductivity and one-
dimensional heat transfer, express the mathematical formulation (the differential equation
and the boundary conditions) of this heat conduction problem during steady operation. Do
not solve.
Q2: Consider a large plane wall of thickness L = 0.3 m, thermal conductivity k = 2.5
Wim-K, and surface area A = 12 m2. The left side of the wall at x = 0 is subjected to a net
heat flux of 700 W/m2 while the temperature at that surface is measured to be T1 = 80°C.
Assuming constant thermal conductiv ity and no heat generation in the wall,
(a) Express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-
dimensional heat conduction through the wall,
(b) Obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the wall by solving the differential
equation, and
(c) Evaluate the temperature of the right surface of the wall at x = L.

QB: A spherical container of inner radius |= 2 m, outer radius m5 2.1 m, and thermal
conductivity k = 30 Wim’K is filled with iced water at 0°C. The container is gaining heat
by convection from the surrounding air at T = 25°C with a heat transfer coefficient of f =
18 Wim-K. Assuming the inner surface temperature of the container to be 0°C,
(a) Express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-
dimensional heat conduction through the container,
(b) Obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container by solving the
differential equation, and
(c) Evaluate the rate of heat gain to the iced water.
Q9: stainless steel spherical container, with k = 15 W/m-K is used for storing chemicals
undergoing exothermic reaction. The reaction provides a uniform heat flux of 60 kW/m2
to the container’s inner surface. The container has an inner radius of 50 cm and a wall
thickness of 5 cm and is situated in a surrounding with an ambient temperature of 23°C.
The container’s outer surface is subjected to convection heat transfer with a coefficient of
1000 W/m2-K. For safety reasons to prevent thermal burn to individuals w orking around
the container, it is necessary to keep the container’s outer surface temperature below 50°C.
Determine the variation of temperature in the container wall and the temperatures of the
inner and outer surfaces of the container. Is the outer surface temperature of the container
safe to prevent thermal burn?
