PROBLEM 2.1

its two ends, insulated on its sides.
FIND: Shapes of heat flux distribution and temperature distribution.

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Steady-state, (2) One-dimensional conduction, (3) Constant properties, (4)
Adiabatic sides, (5) No internal heat generation. (6) Surface temperatures T 1 and T 2 are fixed.
ANALYSIS: For the prescribed conditions, it follows from conservation of energy, Eq. 1.12c,
๏ฆ in = E๏ฆ out or q x = q x+dx . Hence
that for a differential control volume, E
q x is independent of x.
Therefore
โฒโฒx A c constant
=
q x q=
(1)
where A c is the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the x-direction. Therefore the heat flux
must be inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area. The radius of the object first increases
and then decreases linearly with x, so the cross-sectional area increases and then decreases as x2.

PROBLEM 2.1 (Cont.)
To find the temperature distribution, we can use Fourierโs law:
qโฒโฒx = โk
dT
dx
(2)
Therefore the temperature gradient is negative and its magnitude is proportional to the heat flux.
The temperature decreases most rapidly where the heat flux is largest and more slowly where the
heat flux is smaller.
Based on the heat flux plot above we can prepare the sketch of the temperature distribution
below.

The temperature distribution is independent of the thermal conductivity. The heat rate and local
heat fluxes are both proportional to the thermal conductivity of the material.
<
COMMENTS: If the heat rate was fixed the temperature difference, T 1 – T 2 , would be
inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity. The temperature distribution would be of the
same shape, but local temperatures T(x) would vary as the thermal conductivity is adjusted.
PROBLEM 2.2
KNOWN: Hot water pipe covered with thick layer of insulation.
FIND: Sketch temperature distribution and give brief explanation to justify shape.
SCHEMATIC:
ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Steady-state conditions, (2) One-dimensional (radial) conduction, (3) No
internal heat generation, (4) Insulation has uniform properties independent of temperature and
position.
ANALYSIS: Fourierโs law, Eq. 2.1, for this one-dimensional (cylindrical) radial system has the form

qr =

dr
where A r = 2ฯr๏ฌ and ๏ฌ is the axial length of the pipe-insulation system. Recognize that for steadystate conditions with no internal heat generation, an energy balance on the system requires
E๏ฆ in = E๏ฆ out since E๏ฆ g = E๏ฆ st = 0. Hence
q r = Constant.
That is, q r is independent of radius (r). Since the thermal conductivity is also constant, it follows that
๏ฃฎ dT ๏ฃน
r ๏ฃฏ ๏ฃบ = Constant.
๏ฃฐ dr ๏ฃป
This relation requires that the product of the radial temperature gradient, dT/dr, and the radius, r,
remains constant throughout the insulation. For our situation, the temperature distribution must
appear as shown in the sketch.
<
COMMENTS: (1) Note that, while q r is a constant and independent of r, q โฒโฒr is not a constant. How
bg
does q โฒโฒr r vary with r? (2) Recognize that the radial temperature gradient, dT/dr, decreases with
increasing radius.

PROBLEM 2.8
KNOWN: Two-dimensional body with specified thermal conductivity and two isothermal surfaces

SCHEMATIC:
ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Two-dimensional conduction, (2) Steady-state conditions, (3) No heat

ANALYSIS: At the surface A, the temperature gradient in the x-direction must be zero. That is,
(โT/โx) A = 0. This follows from the requirement that the heat flux vector must be normal to an
isothermal surface. The heat rate at the surface A is given by Fourierโs law written as

The total drop across the iron sample is 15ยฐC(60/15) = 60ยฐC; the heater temperature is (77 + 60)ยฐC =

We compare the computed value of k with the tabulated value (see above) at 380 K and note the good
agreement.
(c) The principal advantage of having two identical samples is the assurance that all the electrical
power dissipated in the heater will appear as equivalent heat flows through the samples. With only
one sample, heat can flow from the backside of the heater even though insulated.
Heat leakage out the lateral surfaces of the cylindrically shaped samples will become significant when
the sample thermal conductivity is comparable to that of the insulating material. Hence, the method is
suitable for metals, but must be used with caution on nonmetallic materials.
For any combination of materials in the upper and lower position, we expect โT 1 = โT 2 . However,
if the insulation were improperly applied along the lateral surfaces, it is possible that heat leakage will
occur, causing โT 1 โ โT 2 .

COMMENTS: The preceding analysis may be used to estimate the thermal conductivity at various
temperatures. However, the analysis is not valid for extreme temperatures or pressures. For example,
(1) the thermal conductivity is predicted to be independent of the pressure of the gas. As pure vacuum
conditions are approached, the thermal conductivity will suddenly drop to zero, and the preceding
analysis is no longer valid. Also, (2) for temperatures considerably higher or lower than normallyencountered room temperatures, the agreement between the predicted and actual thermal
conductivities can be poor. For example, for carbon dioxide at T = 600 K, the predicted thermal
conductivity is k = 0.0223 W/mโK, while the actual (tabular) value is k = 0.0407 W/mโK. For extreme

Thermal energy storage refers to either sensible or latent energy. The change in sensible energy per
unit volume due to a temperature change โT is equal to ฯc p โT. Thus, for a given temperature change,
the heat capacity values in the table above indicate the relative amount of sensible energy that can be
stored in the material.
Of the materials considered, water has the largest capacity for sensible energy storage.
<
Various materials also have the potential for latent energy storage due to either a solid-liquid or liquidvapor phase change. Taking water as an example, the latent heat of fusion is
333.7 kJ/kg. With a density of ฯ โ 1000 kg/m3 at 0ยฐC, the latent energy per unit volume associated
with the solid-liquid phase transition is 333,700 kJ/m3. This corresponds to an 80ยฐC temperature
change in the liquid phase. The latent heat of vaporization for water is very large, 2257 kJ/kg, but it is
generally inconvenient to use a liquid-vapor phase change for thermal energy storage because of the
large volume change.
The two materials with the largest heat capacity are also inexpensive. The consumer price of soil is
around $15 per cubic meter, or around $4 per MJ/K. The consumer price of water is around $0.40 per
cubic meter, or around $0.10 per MJ/K. In a commercial application, soil could probably be obtained
much more inexpensively.
Therefore we conclude that water has the lowest cost per unit heat capacity of the materials
considered.
<
COMMENTS: (1) Many materials used for latent thermal energy storage are characterized by
relatively low thermal conductivities. Therefore, although the materials may be attractive from the
thermodynamics point of view, it can be difficult to deliver energy to the solid-liquid or liquid-vapor
interface because of the poor thermal conductivity of the material. Hence, many latent thermal energy
storage applications are severely hampered by heat transfer limitations. (2) Most liquids and solids
have a heat capacity which is in a fairly narrow range of around 1000 โ 4000 kJ/m3โ
K. Gases have
heat capacities that are orders of magnitude smaller.

Assuming constant thermal conductivity, the slope of the temperature distribution indicates
the magnitude and direction of the heat flux according to Eq. (2). A positive slope means heat
is flowing from right to left and vice versa. The magnitudes and directions of the heat fluxes
are illustrated in the schematic above. With this background we can consider each scenario in
turn.
(a) Conditions are steady-state, therefore dEst/dt = 0 in Eq. (1). Since the slope of the
temperature distribution is positive, heat is flowing from right to left in the schematic.
With the slope higher at the right than the left, more heat is entering at the right than
leaving at the left. Therefore heat generation must exist and must be negative.
<
(b) Conditions are steady-state, therefore dEst/dt = 0. The slope of the temperature distribution
is positive and is smaller at the right than the left, therefore less heat is entering at the right
than leaving at the left. Therefore heat generation must exist and must be positive.
Continued โฆ
0. Thus the temperature is increasing with time.
<
(d) Conditions are transient. There is no heat generation. The slope of the temperature
distribution is negative and is smaller at the left than the right, therefore less heat is
entering at the left than leaving at the right. Therefore, there is net heat transfer out of the
control volume and dEst/dt < 0. Thus the temperature is decreasing with time.

flux is higher or lower at the two sides of the control volume.

(2) In evaluating the conduction heat fluxes, qโฒโฒx ( x ) , it is important to recognize that this flux
is in the positive x-direction. See how this convention is used in formulating the energy
balance in part (c).
(3) It is good practice to represent energy balances with a schematic, clearly defining the
system or surface, showing the CV or CS with dashed lines, and labeling the processes.

recognize that the term in parenthesis is the heat flux. From the differential equation, note
that if the differential of this term is a constant ( q๏ฆ / k ) , then the term must be a linear function

(5) In part (f), we evaluated E๏ฆ st , the rate of energy change stored in the wall at the instant the

If there is no thermal energy generation the steady-state temperature distribution is linear (or could be

In case (a), the steady-state temperature distribution is constant, therefore there must not be any
thermal energy generation. The heat equation is
โ 2T 1 โT

โx 2 ฮฑ โt
<
The initial temperature is uniform throughout the solid, thus the initial condition is
<
T ( x, 0) = Ti
At x = 0, the slope of the temperature distribution is zero at all times, therefore the heat flux is zero
(insulated condition). The boundary condition is
โT

โx x =0
0. Therefore the surface temperature is constant:
<
T ( L, t ) = Ts
For case (b), the steady-state temperature distribution is not linear and appears to be parabolic,
therefore there is thermal energy generation. The heat equation is

With the left side insulated and the right side maintained at the initial temperature, the cause of the
decreasing temperature must be a negative value of thermal energy generation.

generation. The heat equation is

PROBLEM 2.24 (Cont.)

T ( x, 0) = Ti ,
โT

โx x =0

At x = L, neither the temperature nor the temperature gradient are constant for all time. Instead, the
temperature gradient is decreasing with time as the temperature approaches the steady-state
temperature. This corresponds to a convection heat transfer boundary condition. As the surface
temperature approaches the fluid temperature, the heat flux at the surface decreases. The boundary
condition is:
โk
โT

โx x = L

The fluid temperature, T โ , must be higher than the initial solid temperature to cause the solid
temperature to increase.

therefore there is thermal energy generation. The heat equation is
โ 2T q๏ฆ 1 โT
+ =
โx 2 k ฮฑ โt
<
Since the temperature is increasing with time and it is not due to heat conduction due to a high surface
temperature, the energy generation must be positive.
The initial temperature is uniform and the temperature gradient at x = 0 is zero. The boundary
condition at x = L is convection. The temperature gradient and heat flux at the surface are increasing
with time as the thermal energy generation causes the temperature to rise further and further above the
fluid temperature. The initial and boundary conditions are:

PROBLEM 2.33 (Cont.)
From the T vs. h plot with G S = 400 W/m2, note that the convection coefficient does not have a major
influence on the surface or bottom coal pile temperatures. From the T vs. G S plot with h = 5 W/m2โ
K,
note that the solar irradiation has a very significant effect on the temperatures. The fact that Ts is less
than the ambient air temperature, Tโ , and, in the case of very low values of G S , below freezing, is a
consequence of the large magnitude of the emissive power E.
COMMENTS: In our analysis we ignored irradiation from the sky, an environmental radiation effect

sky
30ยฐC for very clear conditions and nearly air temperature for cloudy conditions. For low G S
conditions we should consider G sky , the effect of which will be to predict higher values for Ts and
T(0).

At any radial location, the heat rate is
q r = 4ฯr 2 q โฒโฒr = 4ฯkC1.
Hence, q r is independent of r.
COMMENTS: The fact that q r is independent of r is consistent with the energy conservation
requirement. If q r is constant, the flux must vary inversely with the area perpendicular to the
2
direction of heat flow. Hence, q โฒโฒr varies inversely with r .

In the T s,2 vs. (r 2 – r 1 ) plot, note that decreasing the thermal conductivity from 0.05 to 0.01 W/mโ
K
slightly increases T s,2 while increasing the convection coefficient from 5 to 15 W/m2โ
K markedly
decreases T s,2 . Insulation thickness only has a minor effect on T s,2 for either option. In the T o vs. (r 2
– r 1 ) plot, note that, for all the options, the effect of increased insulation is to increase the reaction
temperature. With k = 0.01 W/mโ
K, the reaction temperature increases beyond 95ยฐC with less than 2
mm insulation. For the case with h = 15 W/m2โ
K, the reaction temperature begins to approach 95ยฐC
with insulation thickness around 10 mm. We conclude that by selecting the proper insulation
thickness and controlling the convection coefficient, the reaction could be operated around 95ยฐC such
that the outer surface temperature would not exceed 45ยฐC.

this situation, all the heater power will be conducted to the coolant through the left-hand plate. From a

The temperature distribution is shown on the T-x coordinates above and labeled Case 2. The
distribution is linear in the left-hand plate, with the maximum value at the mid-point. Since no heat
flows through the right-hand plate, the gradient must zero and this plate is at the maximum
temperature as well. The maximum temperature is higher than for Case 1 because the heat flux
through the left-hand plate has increased two-fold.

transfer out of either plate, so that for a 15-minute period, โt o , the heater dissipates 4000 W/m and
then is deactivated. To determine the eventual, uniform steady-state temperature distribution, apply
the conservation of energy requirement on a time-interval basis, Eq. 1.12b. The initial condition
corresponds to the temperature distribution of Case 2, and the final condition will be a uniform,

Since the heat flux through the wall is constant, Fourierโs law dictates that lower thermal conductivity
material must exist where temperature gradients are larger. For Case 1, the temperature distributions
are linear. Therefore, the temperature gradient is constant in each material, and the thermal
conductivity of each material must not vary significantly with temperature. For Case 2, Material A, the

increases with increasing material temperature. For Case 2, Material B, the temperature gradient is
smaller at lower temperatures. Hence, for Material B the thermal conductivity decreases with increases

ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional conduction in radial direction, (2) Constant properties, (3)
Fluid temperature remains constant, (4) Convection heat transfer coefficient is constant.
ANALYSIS: Referring to the figure below, first consider Material A of moderate thermal
conductivity. Initially, the rod temperature is uniform at T i . When the rod is first exposed to the
liquid, heat is transferred from the rod to the fluid due to convection, causing the surface temperature
to decrease. The resulting temperature gradient in the rod causes heat to conduct radially outward, and
the temperature further inside the rod decreases as well. Toward the beginning of this process, the
temperature near the center of the rod is still very close to the initial temperature (see Material A, t 1 ).
As time increases, the temperature everywhere in the rod decreases (see Material A, t 2 ). Eventually, at
steady state, the rod temperature reaches the fluid temperature, T โ .

The boundary condition at the rod surface expresses a balance between heat reaching the surface by
conduction and heat leaving the surface by convection:
โk
โT
= h [T ( D / 2, t ) โ Tโ ]

(1)
<
From this, it can be seen that the temperature gradient at the surface is negative and its magnitude
decreases with time as the surface temperature approaches the fluid temperature. This is shown for the
two intermediate times for Material A.
Next compare Material A to Material B having a very large thermal conductivity. At time t = 0 when
both rods have the same temperature T i , it can be seen from the right hand side of Equation (1) that the
heat flux is the same for both materials. Energy is being removed from both rods at the same rate.
However, because of the large thermal conductivity of material B, its temperature gradient is smaller
and its temperature tends to be nearly uniform, as shown in the figure for Material B, t 1 . Its
temperature is higher at the surface and lower in the center as compared to Material A. Because its
surface temperature stays higher for longer, the heat flux leaving the rod is larger, and overall it cools
faster. At time t 2 , when Material Aโs surface temperature is close to Tโ , but it is still warm in the
center, Material B has already reached steady state.
The rod with the higher thermal conductivity reaches steady state sooner.

COMMENTS: (1) In the temperature distributions of part (a), note these features: initial condition
has quadratic form with zero gradient at the adiabatic boundary; for the steady-state condition, the wall
has reached the temperature of the fluid; for all distributions, the gradient at the adiabatic boundary is
zero; and, the gradient at the exposed boundary decreases with increasing time.
(2) In this thermodynamic analysis, we were able to determine the energy transferred during the
cooling process. However, we cannot determine the rate at which cooling of the wall occurs without
solving the heat diffusion equation.

From the second equation, with uniform heat generation rate, we see that qโฒโฒx varies linearly with x,
and its slope is + q๏ฆA in material A and – q๏ฆA in material B. Furthermore, since the wall is insulated on
both exterior surfaces, the heat flux must be zero at x = ยฑL. Thus, the heat flux is as shown in the
graph below and does not depend on the thermal conductivities. The heat generated in the left half is
conducting to the right and accumulating as it goes. Once it reaches the centerline, it begins to be
consumed by the exothermic reaction and drops to zero at x = L.

PROBLEM 2.51 (Cont.)
Since qโฒโฒx = โ k
โT
, the temperature gradient is negative everywhere, and its magnitude is greatest
โx
where the heat flux is greatest. Thus the slope of the temperature distribution is zero at x = -L, it
becomes more negative as it reaches the center, and then becomes flatter again until it reaches a slope
of zero at x = L. When k A = k B , the temperature distribution has equal and opposite slopes on either
side of the centerline. If k B is held fixed and k A is varied, the results are as shown in the plot above.
Since the temperature gradient is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity, it is steeper in the
region that has the smaller thermal conductivity. Physically, when thermal conductivity is larger, heat
conducts more readily and causes the temperature to become more uniform.

COMMENTS: (1) Given the information in the problem statement, it is not possible to calculate
actual temperatures. There are an infinite number of correct solutions regarding temperature values,
but only one correct solution regarding the shape of the temperature distribution. (2) Chemical
