Exercises Problem 1 Lesson 4

This document presents a heat transfer problem involving a composite plane wall separating hot and cold gases. The wall consists of 1.5 inches of steel and 2 inches of aluminum. It is given that the hot gas is at 2000F and the cold gas is at 80F. The problem asks to: (a) calculate the transmittance U of the wall, (b) determine the heat transfer rate Q through a 100 square foot area under steady-state conditions, and (c) find the interface temperature where the metals meet. The solution shows the calculations to find: (a) U is 1.416 BTU/hr-ft2-°F, (b) Q is 16,992 BTU/

Heat Transfer Fluid-to-Fluid Exercises Problem

Name: Alves, John Mark S.


Student No. 20180148236
Problem:
A composite plane wall consisting of materials, 1.5-in steel (k = 312 BTU-in/HR.ft2.0F)
and 2-in aluminum (k = 1400 BTU-in/HR.ft2.0F), separates a hot gas at Ti = 2000F, hi = 2
BTU/HR.ft2.0F, from cold gas at To = 80 deg F, ho = 5. If the hot fluid is on the aluminum
side, find:
a) Transmittance, U;
b) The heat through 100 sq. ft of the surface under steady state condition and
c) The interface temperature at the junction of the metals.
