Question: Q 2 . The inner layer wall of a drying oven is made of an insulative material ( k = 0 . 0 1 W

Q2. The inner layer wall of a drying oven is made of an insulative material (k=0.01Wm.K)
and is sandwiched between thin metal sheets. The air inside the oven has the temperature of
T,i=400C and the corresponding convection coefficient is hi=25Wm2.K. The inner wall
surface absorbs a radiant flux of qrad''=100Wm2 from hotter objects within the oven. The
room air is at T,0=25C, and the overall coefficient for convection and radiation from the
outer surface is ho=10Wm2*K
a) Draw the thermal circuit for the wall and label all temperatures, heat rates and thermal
resistances.
(4 points: 2 points assumptions +2 points for the thermal circuit)
b) What insulations thickness L is required to maintain the outer wall surface at
temperature T0=30c?
(6 points: 2 points energy balance +4 points for calculation)
