A stainless steel ball (=8055 kg/m3, Cp= 480 J/kgK) of diameter D =15 cm is removed from theoven at a uniform temperature of 350oC. The ball is then subjectedto the flow of air at 1 atm pressure and 30oC with a velocityof 6 m/s. The surface temperature of the ball eventuallydrops to 250oC. Determine the average convection heat transfercoefficient during this cooling process and estimate howlong this process has taken.

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
