Conduction Heat Transfer

• 1 1 Section 1.1.2 provides an approximation for the thermal conductivity of a monatomic gas at ideal gas conditions. Test the validity of this approximation by comparing the conductivity estimated using Eq. (1-18) to the value of thermal conductivity for a monotonic ideal gas (e.g., low pressure argon) provided by the internal function in EES. Note that the molecular radius, ?, is provided in EES by the Lennard-Jones potential using the function sigma_LJ.

  1. What are the value and units of the proportionality constant required to make Eq. (1-18) an equality?

  2. Plot the value of the proportionality constant for 300 K argon at pressures between 0.01 and 100 MPa on a semi-log plot with pressure on the log scale. At what pressure does the approximation given in Eq. (1-18) begin to fail?

Steady-State 1-D Conduction without Generation

• 1 2 Figure P1-2 illustrates a plane wall made of a thin ( th _w = 0 .001 m) and conductive ( k = 100 W/m-K) material that separates two fluids. Fluid A is at T _A = 100 C and the heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and the wall is h _A = 10 W/m ²-K while fluid B is at T _B = 0 C with h _B = 100 W/m ²-K.
