1.67 In beauty salons and in homes, a ubiquitous device is the hairdryer. The front end of a typical hairdryer is idealized as a thin-walled cylindrical duct with a 6-cm diameter with a fan at the inlet that blows air over an electric heating coil as schematically shown in the figure. The design of this appliance requires two power settings, with which the air blown over the electric heating coil is heated from the ambient temperature of to an outlet temperature of and with exit air velocities of 1.0 m/s and 1.5 m/s. Estimate the electric power required for the heating coil to meet these conditions, assuming that heat loss from the outside of the dryer duct is neglected.
The interior wall of a large, commercial walk-in type meat freezer is covered under normal operating conditions with a 2-cm thick layer of ice. One day, a power outage cuts electricity to the refrigeration system of the freezer. Estimate the time required to melt this layer of ice if it has a mass density of 700kg/m3 and a latent heat of fusion of 334 kJ/kg. Consider the air temperature inside the freezer to be 20C with a heat transfer coefficient of 2W/m2K for convection from the freezer surface to air, and clearly state the assumptions made in your calculations.

1.60 Two electric resistance heaters with a 20 cm length and a 2 cm diameter are inserted into a well-insulated 40-L tank of water that is initially at 300 K. If each heater dissipates 500 W, what is the time required for bringing the water temperature in the tank to 340 K? State your assumption for your analysis.
Water at a temperature of 77C is to be evaporated slowly in a vessel. The water is in a low-pressure container surrounded by steam as shown in the sketch below. The steam is condensing at 107C. The overall heat transfer coefficient between the water and the steam is 1100W/m2K. Calculate the surface area of the container that is required to evaporate water at a rate of 0.01 kg/s.

A spherical communications satellite, 2 m in diameter, is placed in orbit around the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of internal power from a small nuclear generator. If the surface of the satellite has an emittance of 0.3, and is shaded from solar radiation by the earth, estimate its surface temperature.

The fins are to be rectangular in cross section, 2.5 cm long and 0.25 cm thick, as shown in the figure. There are to be 100 fins per meter. The convection heat transfer coefficient, both for the wall and the fins, is estimated to be K. With this information determine the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer of the finned wall compared to the bare wall.
A pipe carrying superheated steam in a basement at 10C has a surface temperature of 150C. Heat loss from the pipe occurs by radiation (=0.6) and natural convection (hc=25W/m2K). Determine the percentage of the total heat loss by these two mechanisms.
