Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cylindrical pipe has a radius of 2 cm and outer radius of 4 cm. What is the critical thickness of insulation needed if the thermal conductivity is 0.04 W/mΒ·K and the convective heat transfer coefficient is 10 W/mΒ²Β·K?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about insulation geometry when applying the critical thickness concept.

Question 2

In a hollow sphere, if the inner radius is 10 cm and the outer radius is 12 cm, explain how the heat loss changes with a temperature difference of 50Β°C.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Analyze how the thermal gradient affects the calculated heat transfer.
