A hollow aluminum sphere, with an electrical heater in the center, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of ins

ulating materials. The inner and outer radii of the sphere are 0.18 and 0.21 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of 0.15 m. The system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20°C and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 W/m2 ⋅ K. If 80 W are dissipated by the heater under steady-state conditions, what is the thermal conductivity of the insulation?

Answer:

K_{ins}=\frac {0.157892}{2.854263}=0.055318 W/m.K

Explanation:

Generally, thermal resistance for conduction heat transfer in a sphere.

R_{cond} = \frac{{\left( {1/{r_i}} \right) - \left( {1/{r_o}} \right)}}{{4\pi K}}  

Where R_{cond} is the thermal resistance for conduction, K is the thermal conductivity of the material, r_{i} is the inner radius of the sphere, and r_{o} is the outer radius of the sphere.

The surface area of sphere, A_{s} is given by

A_{s}=4\pi {r^2}

For aluminum sphere, the thermal resistance for conductive heat transfer is given by

Calculate the thermal resistance for conductive heat transfer through the aluminum sphere.

R_{cond,s{\rm{ - 1}}} = \frac{{\left( {1/{r_i}} \right) - \left( {1/{r_o}} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{Al}}}}

Where K_{Al} is aluminum’s thermal conductivity at T_{s}

Thermal resistance for conductive heat transfer through the insulation.

R_{cond,1{\rm{ - 2}}} = \frac{{\left( {1/{r_o}} \right) - \left( {1/r} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{ins}}}}

Thermal resistance for convection is given by

R_{conv} = \frac{1}{{hA}}

Where h is convective heat transfer coefficient, R_{conv} is thermal resistance for convection and A is the cross-sectional area normal to the direction of flow of heat energy

Thermal resistance for convective heat transfer in-between the outer surface of the insulation and the ambient air.

R_{conv,2{\rm{ - }}\infty } = \frac{1}{{h{A_s}}}

Where h represents convective heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation. Since A_{s} is already defined, substituting it into the above formula yields

R_{conv,2{\rm{ - }}\infty } = \frac{1}{{h\left( {4\pi {r^2}} \right)}}

To obtain radial distance of the outer surface of the insulation from the center of the sphere.

r = r_{o} + t where t is thickness of insulation

r=0.21+0.15=0.36m

Total thermal resistance

R_{eq} = {R_{cond,s{\rm{ - 1}}}} + {R_{cond,1{\rm{ - 2}}}} +{R_{conv,2{\rm{ - }}\infty }}

Where R_{eq} is total thermal resistance

R_{eq} = \frac{{\left( {1/{r_i}} \right) - \left( {1/{r_o}} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{Al}}}} + \frac{{\left( {1/{r_o}} \right) - \left( {1/r} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{ins}}}} + \frac{1}{{h\left( {4\pi {r^2}} \right)}}

Consider the thermal conductivity of aluminum at temperature T_{s} as 234W/m.K

Rate of heat transfer for the given process

\dot Q_{s - \infty } = \frac{{{T_s} - {T_\infty }}}{{{R_{eq}}}}

Where \dot Q_{s - \infty }} is the steady state heat transfer rate in-between the inner surface of the sphere and the ambient air.

Substituting \left( {\frac{{\left( {1/{r_i}} \right) - \left( {1/{r_o}} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{Al}}}} + \frac{{\left( {1/{r_o}} \right) - \left( {1/r} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{ins}}}} + \frac{1}{{h\left( {4\pi {r^2}} \right)}}} \right) for R_{eq} we obtain

\dot Q_{s - \infty } = \frac{{{T_s} - {T_\infty }}}{{\left( {\frac{{\left( {1/{r_i}} \right) - \left( {1/{r_o}} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{Al}}}} + \frac{{\left( {1/{r_o}} \right) - \left( {1/r} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{ins}}}} + \frac{1}{{h\left( {4\pi {r^2}} \right)}}} \right)}}

\begin{array}{l}\\80{\rm{ W}} = \frac{{250{\rm{ }}^\circ {\rm{C}} - 20{\rm{ }}^\circ {\rm{C}}}}{{\left( {\frac{{\left( {\frac{1}{{0.18{\rm{ m}}}}} \right) - \left( {\frac{1}{{0.21{\rm{ m}}}}} \right)}}{{4\pi \left( {234{\rm{ W/m}} \cdot {\rm{K}}} \right)}} + \frac{1}{{30{\rm{ W/}}{{\rm{m}}^2} \cdot {\rm{K}}\left( {4\pi {{\left( {0.36{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}} \right)}}\frac{{\left( {\frac{1}{{0.21{\rm{ m}}}}} \right) - \left( {\frac{1}{{0.36{\rm{ m}}}}} \right)}}{{4\pi {K_{ins}}}} + } \right)}}\\\\80{\rm{ W}}\left( {{\rm{0}}{\rm{0.020737 K/W}} + \frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{0.157892/m}}}}{{{K_{ins}}}}} \right) = 230{\rm{ K}}\\\\\frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{0.157892/m}}}}{{{K_{ins}}}} = \frac{{230{\rm{ K}}}}{{80{\rm{ W}}}} - {\rm{0}}{\rm{0.020737 K/W}}\\\\\frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{0.157892/m}}}}{{{K_{ins}}}} = {\rm{2}}{\rm{.854263 K/W}}\\\end{array}

K_{ins}=\frac {0.157892}{2.854263}=0.055318 W/m.K
