A 30-cm-diameter, 4.8-m-high cylindrical column of a house made of concrete (k = 0.79 W/m·K, α = 5.94 × 10−7 m2/s, rho = 1600 kg/m3, and cp = 0.84 kJ/kg·K) cooled to 14°C during a cold night is heated again during the day by being exposed to ambient air at an average temperature of 28°C with an average heat transfer coefficient of 14 W/m2·K. Use analytical one-term approximation method (not the Heisler charts). Determine how long it will take for the column surface temperature to rise to 25°C. The time taken for the column surface temperature to rise to 25°C is

Respuesta :

Answer:

The time for the surface temperature to reach 25 ◦C is  3.24 hr

Explanation:

Assumptions

1. 1-D heat conduction

2. constant thermal properties

3. the heat transfer coefficient is constant & uniform over the surface.

Properties

k = 0.79 W/m · ◦C

α = 5.94 × 10−7 m^2/s

ρ = 1600 kg/m^3

Cp = 0.84 kJ/kg · ◦C

Step 1: Check the Biot number

[tex]Bi = \frac{hr_0}{k}[/tex]

   [tex]= \frac{(14)(0.15 m)}{0.79} = 2.658  [/tex]

As Bi > 0.1  hence lumped system analysis will not considered.

Check the Fourier number.

From Table 18-1

[tex]\lambda_1 = 1.7240,  A_1 = 1.3915[/tex]

From Table 18-2, we can find

[tex]J_0 = 0.3841[/tex]

The Fourier number is determined as

[tex]\frac{T (r_0, t) - T_{\infty}}{(Ti -T\infty)} = A_1 e^{−\lambda^2 \tau} J_0(\lambda_1 r/r_0)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{25 - 28}{14 - 28} = (1.3915)e^{−(1.7240)^2 \tau} (0.3841 ·1)[/tex]

solving τ

[tex]\tau = 0.3082[/tex]

Since τ > 0.2, the one term approximation or the Heisler charts can be used.

The time for the surface temperature to reach 25 ◦C is

[tex]t = \frac{\tau r^2}{\alpha}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{(0.3082)(0.15 m)^2}{(5.94 \times 10^{−7})}[/tex]

= 11674.24 s = 3.24 hours
