In areas where the air temperature remains below 0°Cfor prolonged periods of time, the freezing of water in undergroundpipes is a major concern. Fortunately, the soil remainsrelatively warm during those periods, and it takes weeks for thesubfreezing temperatures to reach the water mains in the ground.Thus, the soil effectively serves as an insulation to protect thewater from the freezing atmospheric temperatures in winter.The ground at a particular location is covered with snowpack at 28°C for a continuous period of 60 days, and theaverage soil properties at that location are k 5 0.35 W/m·K anda = 0.15 * 10-6 m2/s. Assuming an initial uniform temperatureof 8°C for the ground, determine the minimum burialdepth to prevent the water pipes from freezing.
Imagine that you live in a cabin with an interior volume of 175 m3. On a cold morning your indoor air temperature is 100 ^C but by the afternoon the sun has warmed the cabin air to 180 ^C. The cabin is not sealed therefore the pressure inside is the same as it is outdoors. How many m^3 of air would be forced out of the cabin by the sun’s warming?
Radiation makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation in kilowatts from 1.00 m2 of 1100°C fresh lava into 25.0°C surroundings, assuming lava's emissivity is 1. (a) Calculate the rate of heat transfer in watts to you by radiation given your skin temperature is 37.0°C, the emissivity of skin is 0.98, and the surface area of your body is 1.35 m2. (b) If all other forms of heat transfer are balanced (the net transfer is zero), at what rate will your body temperature increase in degrees Celsius per minute if your mass is 68 kg? _____ °C/min
It is well known that wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the wind chill effect that is due to the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The wind chill effect is usually expressed in terms of the wind chill temperature (WCT), which is the apparent temperature felt by exposed skin. For outdoor air temperature of 0°C, for example, the wind chill temperature is 25°C at 20 km/h winds and -9°C at 60 km/h winds. That is, a person exposed to 0°C windy air at 20 km/h will feel as cold as a person exposed to -5°C calm air (air motion under 5 km/h). For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-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 15 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at 20°C. What would your answer be if the…
