Will the likelihood offreezing depend on the tank walls thickness andmaterial? Would freezing of the water be more likelyif plastic (low thermal conductivity) or stainless steel(moderate thermal conductivity) tubing is used totransfer the water to and from the tank? Is there anoptimal tank shape that would minimize the probabil-ity of the water freezing? Would freezing be morelikely or less likely to occur if a thin sheet of alu-minum foil (high thermal conductivity, low emissiv-ity) is applied to the outside of the insulation? (d) Your grandmother is concerned about reducing her winter heating bills. Her strategy is to looselyfit rigid polystyrene sheets of insulation over herdouble-pane windows right after the first freezingweather arrives in the autumn. Identify the relevantheat transfer processes on a cold winter night whenthe foamed insulation sheet is placed (i) on theinner surface and (ii) on the outer surface of herwindow. To avoid condensation damage, whichconfiguration is preferred? Condensation on thewindow pane does not occur when the foamedinsulation is not in place.(e) There is considerable interest in developing buildingmaterials with improved insulating qualities. Thedevelopment of such materials would do much toenhance energy conservation by reducing space heat-ing requirements. It has been suggested that superiorstructural and insulating qualities could be obtainedby using the composite shown. The material consistsof a honeycomb, with cells of square cross section,sandwiched between solid slabs. The cells are filledwith air, and the slabs, as well as the honeycombmatrix, are fabricated from plastics of low thermalconductivity. For heat transfer normal to the slabs,identify all heat transfer processes pertinent to theperformance of the composite. Suggest ways inwhich this performance could be enhanced. (f) A thermocouple junction (bead) is used to measurethe temperature of a hot gas stream flowing through achannel by inserting the junction into the mainstreamof the gas. The surface of the channel is cooled suchthat its temperature is well below that of the gas.Identify the heat transfer processes associated withthe junction surface. Will the junction sense a tem-perature that is less than, equal to, or greater than thegas temperature? A radiation shield is a small, open-ended tube that encloses the thermocouple junction,yet allows for passage of the gas through the tube.How does use of such a shield improve the accuracyof the temperature measurement? (g) A double- glazed, glass fire screen is insertedbetween a wood-burning fireplace and the interiorof a room. The screen consists of two vertical glassplates that are separated by a space through whichroom air may flow (the space is open at the top andbottom). Identify the heat transfer processes associ-ated with the fire screen. h) A thermocouple junction is used to measure the tem-perature of a solid material. The junction is insertedinto a small circular hole and is held in place byepoxy. Identify the heat transfer processes associatedwith the junction. Will the junction sense a tempera-ture less than, equal to, or greater than the solid tem-perature? How will the thermal conductivity of theepoxy affect the junction temperature?

In considering the following problems involving heattransfer in the natural environment (outdoors), recognizethat solar radiation is comprised of long and short wave-length components. If this radiation is incident on a semi-transparent medium, such as water or glass, two thingswill happen to the nonreflected portion of the radiation.The long wavelength component will be absorbed at thesurface of the medium, whereas the short wavelengthcomponent will be transmitted by the surface.(a) The number of panes in a window can strongly influ-ence the heat loss from a heated room to the outsideambient air. Compare the single- and double-panedunits shown by identifying relevant heat transferprocesses for each case. b) In a typical flat-plate solar collector, energy is col-lected by a working fluid that is circulated throughtubes that are in good contact with the back face ofan absorber plate. The back face is insulated from Identify all heat transfer processes associated with thecover plates, the absorber plate(s), and the air.(d) Evacuated-tube solar collectors are capable ofimproved performance relative to flat-plate collec-tors. The design consists of an inner tube enclosedin an outer tube that is transparent to solar radia-tion. The annular space between the tubes is evacu-ated. The outer, opaque surface of the inner tubeabsorbs solar radiation, and a working fluid ispassed through the tube to collect the solar energy.The collector design generally consists of a row ofsuch tubes arranged in front of a reflecting panel.Identify all heat transfer processes relevant to theperformance of this device .
