Question:
A hot-water tank of cylindrical shape has an inside diameter of 0.55 m and inside height of 1.2 m. The tank is enclosed with a 5-cm-thick insulating layer of glass wool whose thermal conductivity is 0.035 W/m ∙ K. The metallic interior and exterior walls of the container have thermal conductivities that are much greater than that of the glass wool. How much power must be supplied to this tank to maintain the water temperature at 75oC when the external temperature is 1oC?
