The outer surface of an engine is situated in a place where oil leakage can occur. When leaked oil comes in contact with ahot su
rface that has a temperature above its autoignition temperature. the oil can ignite spontaneously. Consider anengine cover that is made of a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 1 cm and a thermal conductivity of 14 W/m-K Theinner surface of the engine cover is exposed to hot air with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 7 W/m2-K at 333°C.The outer surface is exposed to an environment where the ambient air is 69‘C with a convection heat transfer coefficientof 7 W/mZ-K To prevent fire hazard in the event of oil leak on the engine cover, a layer of thermal barrier coating (T BC)with a thermal conductivity of 11 W/m-K is applied on the engine cover outer surface. Would a TBC layer of 4 mm inthickness be sufficient to keep the engine cover surface below autoignition temperature of 200T to prevent fire hazard?
1 answer:
Answer:
TBC thickness of 4 mm is insufficient to prevent fire hazard
Explanation:
Given:
- Temperature of hot-fluid inner surface T_i = 333°C
- The convection coefficient hot-fluid h_i = 7 W/m^2K
- The thermal conductivity of engine cover k_1 = 14 W/mK
- The thickness of engine cover L_1 = 0.01 m
- The thermal conductivity of TBC layer k_2 = 1.1 W/mK ... (Typing error)
- The thickness of TBC layer L_2 = 0.004 m
- Temperature of ambient air outer surface T_o = 69°C
- The convection coefficient ambient air h_o = 7 W/m^2K
Find:
Would a TBC layer of 4 mm thickness be sufficient to keep the engine cover surface below autoignition temperature of 200°C to prevent fire hazard?
Solution:
- We will use thermal circuit analogy for the 1-D problem and steady state conduction with no heat generation in the cover or TBC layer.
The temperature at each medium interface and the Thermal resistance for each medium is given in the attachment schematic and circuit analogy.
- We will calculate the total heat flux for the entire system q:
q = ( T_i - T_o ) / R_total
- R_total is the equivalent thermal resistance of the entire circuit. Since all resistances are in series we have:
R_total = 1 / h_i + L_1 / k_1 + L_2 / k_2 + 1 / h_o
- Plug in the values and compute:
R_total = 1 / 7 + 0.01 / 14 + 0.004 / 1.1 + 1 / 7
R_total = 0.2900649351 T-m^2 / W
- Calculate the Total heat flux q:
q = ( 333 - 69 ) / 0.2900649351
q = 910.141 W / m^2
- Just like the total current in a circuit remains same, the total heat flux remains same. We will use the total heat flux q to calculate the temperature of outer engine surface T_2 as follows:
q = ( T_i - T_2 ) / R_i2
Where,
R_i2 = 1 / h_i + L_1 / k_1
R_i2 = 1 / 7 + 0.01 / 14 = 0.14357 T-m^2 / W
Hence,
( T_i - T_2 ) = q*R_i2
T_2 = T_i - q*R_i2
Plug the values in:
T_2 = 333 - 910.141*0.14357
T_2 = 202.33°C
- The outer surface of the engine cover has a temperature above T_ignition = 200°C. Hence, the TBC thickness of 4 mm is insufficient to prevent fire hazard

Answer:
- hoop stress
- longitudinal stress
- material used
all this could led to the failure of the garden hose and the tear along the length
Explanation:
For the flow of water to occur in any equipment, water has to flow from a high pressure to a low pressure. considering the pipe, water is flowing at a constant pressure of 30 psi inside the pipe which is assumed to be higher than the allowable operating pressure of the pipe. but the greatest change in pressure will occur at the end of the hose because at that point the water is trying to leave the hose into the atmosphere, therefore the great change in pressure along the length of the hose closest to the end of the hose will cause a tear there. also the other factors that might lead to the failure of the garden hose includes :
hoop stress ( which acts along the circumference of the pipe):
αh = EQUATION 1
and Longitudinal stress ( acting along the length of the pipe )
αl = EQUATION 2
where p = water pressure inside the hose
d = diameter of hose, T = thickness of hose
we can as well attribute the failure of the hose to the material used in making the hose .
assume for a thin cylindrical pipe material used to be
≥ 20
insert this value into equation 1
αh = = 60/2 = 30 psi
the allowable hoop stress was developed by the material which could have also led to the failure of the garden hose
