A 30-cm-diameter, 4-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/ m 3 , and c p = 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 aver-age heat transfer coefficient of 14 W/ m 2 ⋅K. Using the analyti-cal one-term approximation method, determine (a) how long it will take for the column surface temperature to rise to 27° C, (b) the amount of heat transfer until the center temperature reaches to 28° C, and (c) the amount of heat transfer until the surface temperature reaches 27° C.

a) Time it will taken for the column surface temperature to rise to 27°C is  

17.1 hours

b) Amount of heat transfer is 5320 kJ  

c) Amount of heat transfer until the surface temperature reaches 27°C is 4660 kJ

Explanation:

Given that;

Diameter D = 30 cm

Height H = 4m

heat transfer coeff h = 14 W/m².°C

thermal conductivity k = 0.79 W/m.°C

thermal diffusivity α  = 5.94 × 10⁻⁷ m²/s

Density p = 1600 kh/m³

specific heat Cp = 0.84 Kj/kg.°C

a)

the Biot number is

Bi = hr₀ / k

we substitute

Bi = (14 W/m².°C × 0.15m) / 0.79 W/m.°C

Bi = 2.658

From the coefficient for one term approximate of transient one dimensional heat conduction The constants λ₁ and A₁ corresponding to this Biot number are,  

λ₁ = 1.7240

A₁ = 1.3915

Once the constant J₀ = 0.3841 is determined from corresponding to the constant λ₁

the Fourier number is determined to be  

[ T(r₀, t) -T∞ ] / [ Ti - T∞]  = A₁e^(-λ₁²t') J₀ (λ₁r₀ / r₀)

(27 - 28) / (14 - 28)   = (1.3915)e^-(17240)²t (0.3841)  

t' = 0.6771

Which is above the value of 0.2. Therefore, the one-term approximate solution (or the transient temperature charts) can be used. Then the time it will take for the column surface temperature to rise to 27°C becomes  

t =  t'r₀² / ₐ

= (0.6771 × 0.15 m)² /  (5.94 x 10⁻⁷ m²/s)

= 23,650 s

= 7.1 hours

Time it will taken for the column surface temperature to rise to 27°C is  

17.1 hours

b)

The heat transfer to the column will stop when the center temperature of column reaches to the ambient temperature, which is 28°C.  

Maximum heat transfer between the ambient air and the column is

m = pV

= pπr₀²L

= (1600 kg/m³ × π × (0.15 m)² × (4 m)

= 452.389 kg

Qin = mCp [T∞ - Ti ]

= (452.389 kg) (0.84 kJ/kg.°C) (28 - 14)°C

= 5320 kJ  

Amount of heat transfer is 5320 kJ  

(c)

the amount of heat transfer until the surface temperature reaches to 27°C is

(T(0,t) - T∞) / Ti - T∞  = A₁e^(-λ₁²t')

= (1.3915)e^-(1.7240)² (0.6771)

= 0.1860

Once the constant J₁ = 0.5787 is determined from Table corresponding to the constant λ₁, the amount of heat transfer becomes  

(Q/Qmax)cyl = 1 - 2((T₀ - T∞) / ( Ti - T∞)) ((J₁(λ₁)) / λ₁)

= 1 - 2 × 0.1860 × (0.5787  / 1.7240)  

= 0.875

Q = 0.875Qmax

Q = 0.875(5320 kJ)  

Q = 4660 kJ

Amount of heat transfer until the surface temperature reaches 27°C is 4660 kJ
