When the lumped system analysis is not applicable, the variation of temperature with position as well as time can be determined using the transient temperaiure charts given in Figs, 4-15,4-16, 4 17, and 4-29 for a large plane wall, a long cylinder, a sphere, and a semi-infinite medium, respectively. These charts are applicable for one-dimensional heal transfer in those geometries. Therefore, their use is limited to situations in which the body is initially at a uniform temperature, all surfaces are subjected to the same thermal conditions, and the body docs not involve any heat geiieiation. Tliese charts can also be used to determine the total heat transfer from the body up to a specified lime I. 

The negative sign indicates that heat is transferred to the Trombe vrall from the air in the house, which represents a heat loss. Then the total heat transfer during a spgcStied lime period is determined by adding the heat transfer amounts for each brn e step as... 

The times in Table 4-2 are the reaction time to achieve 90% conversion (i.e.. to reduce the concentration from Cad to 0.1 Cabatch operation i.s considerably longer than the reaction lime, /r, as one must account for the time necessary to fill (ff) and heat (/,) the reactor together with the lime necessary to clean the reactor between batches, l. In some cases, the reaction time calculated from Equation (4-5) may be only a small fraction of the total cycle time. 

There are, however, two major disadvantages of using producer gas. The first is the high total heat usage per tonne of lime, as a result of heat losses in the gas producer and of the low proportion of high-grade heat produced by the gas. The second is the additional capital and operating costs associated with the gas producer. 

Anthracite (see section 14.3.3.3) is widely used in mixed-feed kilns. As much of the volatile organic matter distils at below the dissociation temperature, part of the calorific value is lost and the total heat usage is increased (typically coke usage is in the range 130 to 150 kg/t lime). The volatiles also cause the emission of smoke, which is increasingly becoming environmentally unacceptable. 

In the rotary kiln of cement works, clay and lime are sintered or burnt into cement clinker. The reactor is run in counterflow Primary firing heats the material to approx. 1,400 °C, secondary firing in the loading area ensures calcinations at approx. 900 °C. Approximately 3.3 GJ energy are required for production of 1 Mg cement [20]. To reduce the energy costs, which account for approx. 50 % of the production costs, substitute fuels such as old tires, used oil, paint sludges, sawdust or refuse-derived fuels are used. As much as 30 % of the total heat requirement of a plant have been covered by these secondary fuels [21], the solid residues of which are integrated into the product [19]. 

A milk tank on a dairy farm is equipped with a refHgeration compressor which removes q (Btu/min) of heat from the warm milk. The insulated, perfectly mixed tank is initially filled with (ft ) of warm milk (99.5°F). The compressor is then turned on and begins to chill down the milk. At the same lime fresh warm (99.S°F) milk is continuously added at a constant rate F (ft /min) through a milk pipeline from the milking parlor. The total volume after all cows have been milked is (ft ). 

Surprisingly, when the cathode material, LiCo02, was in the presence of these thermally stable salts, Lilm and LiMe, much higher reactivity was detected than that in the presence of LiPFe, as indicated by the total absence of any combustion suppression on SHR that had been observed with LiPFe. DSC results of LiCoOz in the presence of Lilm- or LiBeti-based electrolytes confirmed the above observation, which showed the onset thermal decomposition of LiCo02 to be at 280 °C, whereas in LiPFe-based electrolytes the same thermal event was much suppressed in terms of heat evolution as the concentration of LiPFe increased. In other words, the presence of Lilm and LiBeti did not introduce any increase in the thermal stability of the electrode, while LiPFe, although believed to be thermally unstable, efficiently suppressed the thermal decomposition of the cathode. 

The efficacy of land treatment for spills of oil and oil products is confirmed in carefully controlled experiments in the laboratory and in the field. Thus, the hydrocarbons in gasoline, jet fuel, and heating oil are extensively degraded in soils treated with fertilizer, lime, and simulated tilling. This approach reduces the total hydrocarbons by up to 95%, eliminates polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and results in complete detoxification in a few months. Crude oil, crankcase oil, jet fuel, heating oil, and diesel oil disappear faster than in a soil without these treatments. 

Consider a large uranium plate of thickness L = 4 cm, thermal conductivity k -- 28 W/m °C, and thermal diffusivity a = 12.5 X 10 m /s that is initially at a uniform temperature of 2C0 C. Heat is generated uniformly in the plate at a constant rate of e = 5 x 10 W/m. At lime t = 0, one side of llie plate is brought into contact with iced water and is maintained at 0°C at all times, while the other side is subjected to convection to an environment at f, = 30°C with a heat transfer coefficient of / = 45 W/m °C, as shov/n in Fig. 5 44. Considering a total of three equally spaced nodes in the medium, two at the boundaries and one at the middle, estimate the exposed surface temperature of the plate 2.5 min after the start of cooling using (a) the explicit method and (6) the implicit metliod. 

S-73 Consider transient heat conduction in a plane wall whose left surface (node 0) i.s maintained at. >0°C while the tiglil surface (node 6) is subjeeted to a solar heal flux of 600 W/m. The wall is initially at a uniform temperature of 50°C. Express the explicit finite difference fomiulalion of the boundary nodes 0 and 6 for the case of no heal generation. Also, obtain die finite difference formulaiioti for the total amount of heat transfer at the left boundary during the first three lime steps. 

A house located in Boulder, Colorado (40° N latitude), lias ordinary double-pane windows with 6-mm-ihick glasses and the total window areas are 8, 6,6, and 4 m on the south, west, east, and itorth walls, respectively. Determine the total solar heat gain of the house at 9 00, 12 ()0, and 15 00 so lar lime in July. Also, determine the total amount of solar heat gain per day for an average day in January. 

Scale will exercise considerable influence on the amount of heat transmitted. Correct data for X are not known in this case, but may be taken the same as boiler scale, which will average about 1.50. The total resistance will be the sum of the resistance of the clean tube and the resistance caused by the scale. Therefore, for a He-in. copper tube coated with a M2 in. lime scale, R = M55 + (1/(384 X 1.50), = Moo Q is 30,600 B.t.u., that is about 50 per cent of the heat transmitted through a clean copper tube. This reduction in heat transmission is somewhat higher than in actual practice, which is probably due to the fact that in most cases scale is not very dense and will permit direct contact between the metallic surface and the boiling liquid. Incrustations of salt and organic matter have a similar influence, and it happens...
