Assignment – 3

MCL 703, 1st Sem, 2022-23


Last Date of submission: 16th November
• Derive all the steps clearly
• Copying is not allowed. You will get zero mark if there is evidence of cheating

1. Densely populated electronic components mounted on substrate surfaces may result in


undesirably high temperatures affecting the operation and reliability of electronic
equipment. To assure the reliable operation of this equipment, efficient removal of heat
from the electronic components is desired. The heat exchanger design shown in Fig. aims
at the cooling of a substrate surface on top of which electronic components are mounted.
The lid at the bottom of the devise is assumed to be adiabatic. The heat transfer through a
typical fin (rib) between two adjacent coolant channels can be obtained by studying the
two-dimensional model shown in the detail of Fig. Its is assumed that all the fins and
coolant channels are identical, that the heat transfer coefficient (h) and the bulk fluid
temperature (To) is measured with thermocouples, and it is also known and constant. End
effects are neglected.
(a) Calculate the temperature distribution in the typical fin shown in the detail of Fig.
(b) Calculate the local and overall heat transfer through the base of the fin.
(c) How does the overall heat transfer through the base of the fin vary with the ratio H/b?
Based on your findings, what are your recommendations to the fin manufacturer for the
design of the fin?
2. The cylindrical bars shown in Fig. below serve both as structural support for the two side
surfaces of a heat exchanger and as a means of enhancing the heat transfer between these
surfaces. Assume for simplicity that the temperature of the cold surface is identical to the
bulk temperature of the coolant (Tc = T∞). The temperature of the hot surface id denoted
by TH, the height of the bars by H, the radius of the bars by R, and the heat transfer
coefficient by h. Assuming that the heat transfer behavior of all bars is identical:
(a) Obtain the temperature distribution in one bar.
(b) Calculate the overall heat transfer removed through one bar from the hot surface.
(c) How does varying the ration R/H affect the overall heat transfer? Based on your
analysis, if the volume of each bar is fixed, what values of R/H (large of small) would
you recommend to the manufacturer of he heat exchanger to enhance the overall heat
transfer?

3. The lateral surface of the cylinder shown in Fig is exposed to a radiation flux 𝑞̇ ′′ (z). Such
a flux can be imposed with the help of a ring heater surrounding the cylinder. The two ends
of the cylinder are cooled by being in contact with a fluid of temperature T ∞. The
corresponding heat transfer coefficient is denoted by h and is the same for both ends of the
cylinder. It is of interest to obtain the temperature distribution in the cylinder and the total
heat removal at both ends, z = 0 and z = L. Two separate cases will be investigated. In case
(a) the heat transfer coefficient h will be assumed to be very large (h ---> T∞). In case (b)
the transfer coefficient will be of finite value.
4. A long cylindrical rod of radius R and length L (L >> R) is placed inside a furnace to be
melted (Fig). The initial temperature of the rod is To. The convective effects of the furnace
are negligible. The heating of the rod occurs by means of a uniform heat flux, 𝑞̇ ′′ , at its
surface. It is of interest to obtain the temperature filed in the cylinder and to estimate the
time required for the melting process to begin if the melting temperature of the cylinder
material is denoted by Tm.
5. Consider the problem of one-dimensional transient heat conduction in plane wall. Initially,
the wall is isothermal at Ti and its right side (at x = L) is insulated. Obtain the temperature
distribution in the wall as well as the heat flux at x = 0 for 0 < t < to and for 3to < t < 4to if
the left side of the wall (at x = 0) undergoes the series of temperature pulses shown in Fig.

6. In a laboratory experiment a plane wall (Fig. shown below) is heated electrically. To this
end, a current I (amperes) is passed through it. As a result, heat is generated within the
wall. The volume of the wall is known and is denoted by V (m3) and its electrical resistance
by R (ohms). Cooling is provided by a convecting fluid (h, T∞) flowing on both sides of
the wall. Only temperature variations in the x-direction (along the thickness of the wall)
are significant. The experiment proceeds as follows: Initially (t ≤ 0), no current is passed
through the wall and is temperature is identical to that of the coolant (T∞). Suddenly, the
electrical heating begins and stays on thereafter. The temperature history of selected points
of the wall is monitored.
(a) You are asked to construct and solve a theoretical model that will provide the
temperature change of any point in the wall with time so that future comparisons with
the experimental measurements can be made.
(b) What are the location and magnitude of the maximum temperature in the wall?
