Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A thick spherical shell with inner radius 0.1 m and outer radius of 0.15 m is insulated. If the thermal conductivity of the shell material is 0.5 W/mΒ·K, calculate the heat transfer rate when the inner temperature is maintained at 75Β°C while the outer surface is exposed to an environment at 25Β°C.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Assess how thermal conductivity impacts the heat rate effectively.

Question 2

Create a design layout for an insulated hot water storage tank shaped like a sphere. What would be your considerations regarding the critical radius while planning the insulation thickness?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider both thermal efficiency and heat retention during this planning.
