Steady-state conduction through a plane wall without heat generation...

Description

Question 5 Measurements show that steady-state conduction through a plane wall without heat generation produced a convex temperature distribution such that the midpoint temperature was T0 higher than expected for a linear temperature distribution.

Assuming that the thermal conductivity has a linear dependence on the temperature k = k0(1 + αT) where α is a constant, develop a relationship to evaluate α in terms of T0, T1, and T2. Solution: Write Temperature Balance Equation : Since the system is in steady state and there is no accumulation or generation the heat balance equation reduces to:

∂ ∂T ×k ∂x ∂x

= 0 (Eq. 5.1)

Heat conductivity is changing linearly and is given as:

k ( T )=k 0 ( 1+αT ) ( Eq . 5.2) Integrate Eq. 5.1

k (T )

∂T =C 1 (Eq. 5.2) ∂x

Separate variables.

k ( T ) ∂ T =C 1 ∂ x

(Eq. 5.3)

Substitute k(T) and integrate both sides

Then C1 can be calculated as follows:

Then C2 can be calculated by substituting C1 in Eq. 5.7 with Eq. 5.9: 2

Re-arrange to find α:

We know that:

T L= 2

T 1+ T 2 +∆T0 2

(Eq.5.13)

Therefore either T1 or T2 can be expressed though equation to compute α
