Consider a 2-m-high electric hot-water heater thathas a diameter of 40 cm and maintains the hot water at 55°C.The tank is located in a small room whose average temperatureis 27°C, and the heat transfer coefficients on the innerand outer surfaces of the heater are 50 and 12 W/m2·K,respectively. The tank is placed in another 46-cm-diametersheet metal tank of negligible thickness, and the spacebetween the two tanks is filled with foam insulation (k =0.03 W/m·K). The thermal resistances of the water tank andthe outer thin sheet metal shell are very small and can be neglected. The price of electricity is $0.08/kWh, and the home owner pays $280 a year for water heating. Determine the fraction of the hot-water energy cost of this household that is due to the heat loss from the tank. Hot-water tank insulation kits consisting of 3-cm-thick fiberglass insulation (k = 0.035 W/m·K) large enough to wrap the entire tank are available in the market for about $30.

A person puts a few apples into the freezer at 15°C cool them quickly for guestswho are about to arrive. Initially, the apples are at a uniform temperature of 20°C,and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 8 W/m2·K. Treating the apples as9-cm-diameter spheres and taking their properties to be 840 kg/m3, Cp 3.81 kJ/kg·K, k = 0.418 W/m·K, and α =10-7 m2/s, determine the center and surface temperatures of the apples in 1 h.

An average person generates heat at a rate of 240 Btu/h while resting in a room at 70°F. Assuming onequarter of this heat is lost from the head and taking the emissivity of the skin to be 0.9, determine the average surface temperature of the head when it is not covered. The head can be approximated as a 12-in-diameter sphere, and the interior surfaces of the room can be assumed to be at the room temperature.

Assuming the outer surface temperature of the section remains at about 80oC, determine i) the thickness of the insulation that is needed and ii) the outer surface temperature of the insulation after installation.
