Subject: Heat Transfer 1, CHE131 Term: Jan/May 2008
Examiner: Dr. Moustafa Azab Time: 90 min

1. Water is flowing inside a circular duct of internal diameter 2.5 cm

with a mass flow rate 1 Kg/sec. the inlet temperature of water is
20oc.length of pipe 5 m. pipe thickness = 3 mm, Kpipe = 20 W/mo.c,
if the pipe is heated externally with hot oil so that the temperature of
the external surface is 30oc over the temperature of internal surface at
any point. ho = 140 W/m2 oc.
Calculate:

Rate of heat transfer due to conduction

Heat transfer coefficient due to convection for the internal fluid.
Overall heat transfer coefficient.

2. A hollow sphere of internal diameter 6 cm and thickness 1 cm is

coated with an insulator of thickness 0.5 cm. if the sphere contains a
fluid of temperature 150oc and the surrounding temperature is 30oc.
Ksphere= 20 W/m.oc
Kinsulator = 0.5 W/m.oc
Calculate:

The rate of heat transfer due to conduction only.

Temperature at interface between sphere and insulator.
