Heat Transfer Quiz

horizontal rule

1.      What are three common ways that heat is transferred between objects?

2.      Give general equations for those three ways listed in Question 1.

3.      What is the thermal resistance of a wall of surface area of 120 m2, and consists of two components.  Temperatures at edges and the interface of the two materials is given.

4.      Heat is transferred by conduction through a wall consisting of two materials, as shown below.  The temperature on one side of the wall is -5 °C and on the other is 25 °C.  What is the heat transfer through the wall?

5.      A polymer film (k = 0.3 W/m*K) that is 30 microns thick is extrusion coated to aluminum foil (k = 177 W/m*K) that is 50 microns thick and is used in a liquid packaging application.  The liquid on the polymer side has a film coefficient of 5 W/m2*K and a temperature of 25 °C.  The liquid on the aluminum side has a film coefficient of 30 W/m2*K and a temperature of 90 °C.  Assuming that steady state conditions have been met, what is the approximate temperature of the interface?  Solving such a problem is critical in modeling the filling process of packages with hot liquids.
