1.19 A cryogenic fluid is stored in a 0.3-m-diameter spherical container is still air. If the convection heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface of the container and the air is 6.8 , the temperature of the air is 27°C, and the temperature of the surface of the sphere is –183°C, determine the rate of heat transfer by convection.
Consider a person standing in a breezy room at 20°C. Determine the total rate of heat transfer from this person if the exposed surface area and the average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.6 m2 and 29°C, respectively, and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 6 W/m2 ·°C (Fig. 2–75).

Consider a steam pipe of length 15 ft, inner radius 2 in., outer radius 2.4 in., and thermal conductivity 7.2 Btu/hr-ft-°F. Steam is flowing through the pipe at an average temperature of 250°F, and the average convection heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface is given to be 1.25 Btu/hr-ft2-°F. If the average temperature on the outer surfaces of the pipe is 160°F, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam through the pipe. ANSWER:______Btu/hr
Why is this equation fundamental in the analysis of heat transfer? Why is this a big deal for engineers?
What are the mechanisms of heat transfer? How are they distinguished from each other?
Consider a 1.2-m-high and 2-m-wide double-pane window consisting of two 0.0023-m-thick layers of glass (k = 0.78 W/m·K) separated by a 12-mm-wide vacuum space. Take the convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the window to be h1 = 10 W/m2·K and h2 = 25 W/m2·K, and disregard any heat transfer by radiation. Assume that the space between the two glass layers is evacuated.Determine the steady rate of heat transfer (in W) through the glass window. The room is maintained at 24°C while the temperature of the outdoors is –5°C. (Radiation in outer side of the double-pane window should be disregarded but in the inner part, the only mechanism of heat transfer in vacuum is by radiation. Emissivity for glass is around 1, and the temperature of inner surfaces of the double-pane window should be assumed to be 5 and 15 'C.)
A 5 m long section of a steam pipe whose outer diameter is 10 cm passes through an open space at 30°C. The average temperature of the outer surface of the pipe is measured to be 150°C, and the average heat transfer coefficient on that surface is determined to be 180 W/m^2.k. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss through convection from the steam pipe and (b) the annual cost of this energy loss if steam is generated in a natural gas furnace, and the price of natural gas is 0.05 Rs/Kwh, consider a 250 working-day year.
For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 175-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the side surface at an average temperature of 34°C. For a convection heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m2 ·°C, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in an environment at 20°C.
During a picnic on a hot summer day, the only available drinks were those at the ambient temperature of 90°F. In an effort to cool a 12-fluid-oz drink in a can, which is 5 in high and has a diameter of 2.5 in, a person grabs the can and starts shaking it in the iced water of the chest at 32°F. The temperature of the drink can be assumed to be uniform at all times, and the heat transfer coefficient between the iced water and the aluminum can is 30 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Using the properties of water for the drink, estimate how long it will take for the canned drink to cool to 40°F.
Consider hotdog being cooked in boiling water in a pan. Would the heat transfer be modeled as one-dimensional or two-dimensional? Would the heat transfer be steady or transient? Explain.
A cylindrical fuel rod of 2 cm in diameter is encased in a concentric tube and cooled by water. The fuel generates heat uniformly at a rate of 150 MW/m3. The convection heat transfer coefficient on the fuel rod is 5000 W/m2∙K, and the average temperature of the cooling water, sufficiently far from the fuel rod, is 70°C. Determine the surface temperature of the fuel rod and discuss whether the value of the given convection heat transfer coefficient on the fuel rod is reasonable.
