With these assumptions:

• So, the governing equation for the plane slab with the above-mentioned assumptions becomes:

• Observe that heat flows from the fluid at temperature Ta to the left surface of slab 1 by convection, then by conduction through slabs 1, 2 and 3, and then, by convection from the right surface of slab 3 to the fluid at temperature Tb.

Overall heat transfer coefficient, U (W/(m2.C)):

• We would like to have the heat transfer given by a simple relation of the form:

• Q = U A (Ta – Tb) = U A ∆T……(4.21)• Now, we have from eqn. (4.16):

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 21

• Now, we have from eqn. (4.16):

Page 22: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

• Comparing eqn (4.16) and eqn. (4.21), we can write:

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 22

Remember the expression for U as given by eqn. (4.23); it is easierand is applicable when we deal with other geometries too.

Thermal contact resistance:• Physical reasoning for contact

resistance is explained with reference to Fig. 4.5:

• Physical contact between A and B occurs only at a few points i.e. at the ‘peaks’ as

points i.e. at the ‘peaks’ as shown.

• Therefore, heat transfer occurs by conduction through this solid contact area and also by ‘gas conduction’ through the gas filling the interfacial voids.

Page 24: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

• In effect, resistance to heat transfer is by two mechanisms:

• by solid conduction at the peaks, and • by gas conduction through the interfacial gas in the

voids. • Of these two, solid conduction is usually negligible.• Note that that there is a temperature drop at the

interface, (Tc1 – Tc2) and the temperature profile is

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 24

interface, (Tc1 – Tc2) and the temperature profile is not continuous.

• Thermal contact resistance is defined as the temperature drop at the interface divided by the heat transfer rate per unit area:

Page 25: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

• Interface ‘thermal contact conductance’ is defined as the inverse of the contact resistance, and is given by:

Thermal contact resistance depends on:

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 25

•surface roughness — smoother the surface, lesser the resistance .interface temperature — higher the temperature, lesser the

resistance•interface pressure — higher the pressure, lesser the resistance

•type of material – softer the material, lesser the resistance

Page 26: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

• Thermal contact resistance may be reduced by:

• making the mating surfaces very smooth• inserting a layer of conducting grease at the interface• inserting a ‘shim’ (thin foil) made of a soft material

such as indium, lead, tin or silver between the surfaces

• filling the interstitial voids with a gas of higher thermal conductivity than that of air (ex: helium)

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 26

conductivity than that of air (ex: helium)• increasing the interface pressure• in case of permanently bonded joints, contact

resistance can be reduced by using an epoxy or soft solder rich in lead, or a hard solder of gold/tin alloy

• Values of Rc are given in Heat Transfer Handbooks.

direction only

direction only• Homogeneous, isotropic material with

constant k• No internal heat generation

Page 31: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

Cylindrical systems (contd.)

• In cylindrical coordinates, we have the general diff. eqn. for conduction:

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 31

In this case:

Page 32: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

Cylindrical systems (contd.)

• Therefore, the controlling differential equation for the cylindrical system becomes:

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 32

Integrating above eqn. twice:

Page 33: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

• C1 and C2 are found out by applying the two B.C’s:at r = ri, T = Ti

at r = ro, T = To

Solving, we get:

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 33

Eqn. (4.34) is written in non-dimensional form as follows:

Note: For thin cylinders, ri ≈ ro , and then the temperature distribution within the shell is almost linear.

Page 34: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

• Next, to find the heat transfer rate, Q:• We apply the Fourier’s Law. • Considering the inner radius ri,

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 34

Equation (4.36) gives the desired expression for rate of heat transfer through the cylindrical system.

If there are N concentric cylinders, we can write :

Page 41: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

Overall heat transfer coefficient for the cylindrical system:

• We would like to write the heat transfer rate in terms of the known overall temperature difference, as follows:

Q = U A ∆Toverall = U A (Ta – Tb)

where U is an overall heat transfer coefficient and A is the area normal to the direction of heat flow.

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 41

the area normal to the direction of heat flow. • In the case of a cylindrical system, area normal to the

direction of heat flow is 2πrL, and clearly, this varies with r. Therefore, while dealing with cylindrical systems, we have to specify as to which area U is based on i.e. whether it is based on inside area or outside area.

Page 42: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

• We write:

Comparing eqn. (4.44) with eqn. (4.41), we get:

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 42

Therefore,

Page 43: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

4. Critical thickness of insulation for cylindrical system:

• Generally, addition of insulation does reduce the heat loss;

• However, there are some interesting cases where the addition of insulation, in fact,

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 64

addition of insulation, in fact, increases the heat loss!

• Consider a cylinder with insulation where r1 is the inner radius of insulation layer (or, outer radius of pipe), r2 is the outer radius of insulation layer.

Page 65: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

Critical thickness of insulation(contd.):

• Resistance to heat transfer is made up of two components viz. conductive resistance through the cylindrical insulation layer [ = ln(r2/r1)/ (2 π k L) ]and convective resistance between the wall surface and the surroundings [ = 1/(h. Ao )].

Aug. 2016 MT/SJEC/M.Tech. 65

surface and the surroundings [ = 1/(h. Ao )].• As the insulation thickness is increased i.e. as

insulation radius r2 is increased, conductive resistance of insulation increases; however, convective resistance, given by [1/(h. Ao)] goes on decreasing since Ao, the outside surface area goes on increasing with increasing radius.

Page 66: One-dimensional conduction-with_no_heat_generation

Critical thickness of insulation (contd.):

• Therefore, the total resistance may increase or decrease, depending on the relative rates of change of these two resistances.

• For the above case, the equivalent thermal resistance circuit is shown below:

• The insulation radius at which the resistance to heat flow is minimum is called ‘critical radius’, rc; i.e. the heat flow is a maximum at the critical radius.

• Mathematically, to find out at what insulation radius r the Rtot becomes a minimum for the cylindrical system, differentiate the expression for Rtot and equate to zero.

• We have:

Equation (4.63) gives the expression for critical radius, rc for thecylindrical system.

• To confirm that at r = rc , Rtot indeed is minimum, find out the value of (d2 Rtot /dr2 ) at r = rc, and it will be found to be positive; i.e at r = rc , the Rtot is a minimum.
