Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.20P
Consider a small but known volume of metal that has a large thermal conductivity.
- Since the thermal conductivity is large, spatial temperature gradients that develop within the metal in response to mild heating are small. Neglecting spatial temperature gradients, derive a differential equation that could be solved for the temperature of the metal versus time T(t) if the metal is subjected to a fixed surface heat rate q supplied by an electric heater.
- A student proposes to identify the unknown metal by comparing measured and predicted thermal responses. Once a match is made, relevant thermo-physical properties might be determined, and, in turn. the metal may be identified by comparison to published property data. Will this approach work? Consider aluminum, gold. and silver as the candidate metals.

The wall of the furnace is 30.48 mm thick and is insulated from outside. Thermal conductivity of the wall material is 0.1 W/m K and the insulation material is 0.01 W/m K. The furnace operates at 650 0C and the ambient temperature is 30 0 Allowable temperature on the outer side of the insulation is 1000C. Determine the overall heat transfer by conduction per unit area occurring across a furnace wall made from clay.
If the air side heat transfer coefficient is 0.4 W/m2 K, calculate the minimum insulation thickness requirement.

The following graph shows the thermal behavior of 2 kg of a material called Uniandesato undergoing a solid-liquid phase transition.
In a container, thermally insulated from the outside, 20 kg of liquid water at a temperature of 80°C are placed. In addition to this, an unknown amount of Uniandesato in a 100% solid state at its melting temperature (10°C) is added. The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg°C.
a) If the system reaches an equilibrium temperature of 60°C, calculate the initial amount of Uniandesato added to the container.
b) Calculate the change in entropy during this process and show that it is consistent with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
