Unit III
1. (i) Derive the heat conduction equation in cylindrical co-ordinates using an elemental volume for a stationary
isotropic solid. (ii) A 3 cm OD steam pipe is to be covered with two layers of insulation each having a thickness
of 2.5 cm. The average thermal conductivity of one insulation is 5 times that of the other. Determine the
percentage decrease in heat transfer if better insulating material is next to pipe than it is the outer layer.
Assume that the outside and inside temperatures of composite insulation are fixed.
2. (i) Explain briefly the concept of critical thickness of insulation and state any two applications of the same. (ii)
A 6 em long copper rod (k = 300 W/mK) 6mm in diameter is exposed to an environment at 20C. The base
temperature of the rod is maintained at 160C. The heat transfer co-efficient is 20 W/m2 K. Calculate the heat
given by the rod and efficiency and effectiveness of the rod.
