Consider a person who is trying to keep cool on a hot summer day by turning a fan on and exposing his body to air flow. The air temperature is 32°C, and the fan is blowing air at a velocity of 5 m/s. The surrounding surfaces are at 40°C, and the emissivity of the person can be taken to be 0.9. If the person is doing light work and generating sensible heat at a rate of 90 W, determine the average temperature of the outer surface (skin or clothing) of the person. The average human body can be treated as a 30-cmdiameter cylinder with an exposed surface area of 1.7 m2. Evaluate the air properties at film temperature of 35°C and 1 atm.
An electronic box that consumes 200 W of power is cooled by a fan blowing air into the box enclosure. The dimensions of the electronic box are 15 cm * 50 cm * 50 cm, and all surfaces of the box are exposed to the ambient except the base surface. Temperature measurements indicate that the box is at an average temperature of 32°C when the ambient temperature and the temperature of the surrounding walls are 25°C. If the emissivity of the outer surface of the box is 0.75, determine the fraction of the heat lost from the outer surfaces of the electronic box.
Thick fluids such as asphalt and waxes and the pipes in which they flow are often heated in order to reduce the viscosity of the fluids and thus to reduce the pumping costs. Consider the flow of such a fluid through a 100-m-long pipe of outer diameter 30 cm in calm ambient air at 0oC. The pipe is heated electrically, and a thermostat keeps the outer surface temperature of the pipe constant at 25oC. The emissivity of the outer surface of the pipe is 0.8, and the effective sky temperature is −30oC. Determine the power rating of the electric resistance heater, in kW, that needs to be used. Also, determine the cost of electricity associated with heating the pipe during a 10-h period under the above conditions if the price of electricity is $0.09/kWh. Properties The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature of (Ts+T∞)/2 = (25+0)/2 = 12.5°C are: k = 0.02458 W/m.oC, ν = 1.448x10-5 m2/s, Pr = 0.7330
In a production facility, large brass plates of 4-cm thickness that are initially at a uniform temperature of 25°C are heated by passing them through an oven that is maintained at 455°C . The plates remain in the oven for a period of 7 min. Taking the combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient to be h = 120 W/m2·K, determine the surface temperature of the plates when they come out of the oven
A vertical 1.5-m-high and 3.0-m-wide enclosure consists of two surfaces separated by a 0.4-m air gap at atmospheric pressure. If the surface temperatures across the air gap are measured to be 280 K and 336 K and the surface emissivities to be 0.15 and 0.90, determine the fraction of heat transferred through the enclosure by radiation.
What is natural convection? How does it differ from forced convection? What force causes natural convection currents?
Two concentric spheres of diameters D1 = 15 cm and D2 = 25 cm are separated by air at 1 atm pressure. The surface temperatures of the two spheres enclosing the air are T1 = 350 K and T2 = 275 K, respectively, and their emissivities are 0.75. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the inner sphere to the outer sphere by (a) natural convection and (b) radiation.
Consider a hot automotive engine, which can be approximated as a 0.5-m-high, 0.40-m-wide, and 0.8-m-long rectangular block. The bottom surface of the block is at a temperature of 100°C and has an emissivity of 0.95. The ambient air is at 20°C, and the road surface is at 25°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the bottom surface of the engine block by convection and radiation as the car travels at a velocity of 80 km/h. Assume the flow to be turbulent over the entire surface because of the constant agitation of the engine block.
How can we use the transient temperature charts when the surface temperature of the geometry is specified instead of the temperature of the surrounding medium and the convection heat transfer coefficient?
Take note that both sides of the plate are exposed to convection.
Consider a 50-cm-diameter and 95-cm-long hot water tank. The tank is placed on the roof of a house. The water inside the tank is heated to 80°C by a flat-plate solar collector during the day. The tank is then exposed to windy air at 18°C with an average velocity of 40 km/h during the night. Estimate the temperature of the tank after a 45-min period. Assume the tank surface to be at the same temperature as the water inside, and the heat transfer coefficient on the top and bottom surfaces to be the same as that on the side surface. Evaluate the air properties at 50°C.
A hot liquid is filled in a spherical tank with an inner diameter of 3 m and a wall thickness of 3 cm. The tank wall is made of a material with a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/m∙K.The hot liquid in the tank causes the inner surface temperature to be 100°C, while the tank outer surface is exposed to air at 20°C and has an emissivity of 0.35. Determine the outer surface temperature of the tank. Assume that the properties of air can be evaluated at 40°C and 1 atm pressure. Is this a good assumption?
