Assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°C and the surface area to be 1.1 m2, the temperature of the outdoors is -5°C and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 W/m2-°C. What should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 W/m-°C) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket? mm

When the convection heat transfer coefficient is very large (h → ∞), the convection resistance becomes zero and Ts ≈ T. This situation is approached in practice at surfaces where ------------------------ occur.
Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. So it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thick and heavy old-fashioned coats. Consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 W/m·K) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 W/m·K) between the layers. Assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°C and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°C and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 W/m2·K. What would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? What should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 W/m·K) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a…
During a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4m high and 10m long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5 degrees Celsius and the surface temperature of the wall is 12 degrees Celsius , determine the rate of heat loss from the wall by convection.

1. (a) Consider a room with a 1.8-m-high and 2.0-m-wide double-pane window consisting of two 4-mm-thick layers of glass separated by a 10-mm-wide stagnant air space. The convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the window are 12 W/m2 K and 25 W/m2 K, respectively, while the average thermal conductivity of glass is 0.78 W/m K; and the air, 0.026 W/m K. If the room is maintained at 22 oC, the outside temperature is -4 oC and heat transfer due to radiation can be neglected, determine: (i) Draw the sketch and thermal resistance network; (ii) the total thermal resistance; (iii) the steady rate of heat transfer through this double-pane window; (iv) the temperature of the inner surface of the window.…
Air is flowing in parallel over the upper surface of a flat plate with a length of 4 m. The first half of the plate length, from the leading edge, has a constant surface temperature of 50°C. The second half of the plate length is subjected to a uniform heat flux of 86 W/m2. The air has a free stream velocity and temperature of 0.5 m/s and 10°C respectively. The properties of air at Tf = 30°C are k = 0.02588 W/m∙K, ν = 1.608 × 10−5 m2/s, and Pr = 0.7282.Determine the local convection heat transfer coefficients at 1 m from the leading edge.

A heating system is to be designed to keep the wings of an aircraft cruising at a veloeity of 900 km/h above freezing temperatures during flight at 12.200-m altitude where the standard atmospheric conditions are -55.4°C and 188 kPa.

Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate 22 cm * 22 cm in size. The heat generated by the transistors is to be dissipated by both surfaces of the plate to the surrounding air at 25°C, which is blown over the plate by a fan. The entire plate can be assumed to be nearly isothermal, and the exposed surface area of the transistor can be taken to be equal to its base area. If the average convection heat transfer coefficient is 25 W/m2·K, determine the temperature of the aluminum plate. Disregard any radiation effects.
The passenger compartment of a minivan traveling at 60 mph can be modeled as a 3.2-ft-high, 6-ft-wide, and 11-ftlong rectangular box whose walls have an insulating value of R-3 (i.e., a wall thickness-to-thermal conductivity ratio of 3 h?ft2?°F/Btu). The interior of a minivan is maintained at an average temperature of 70°F during a trip at night while the outside air temperature is 90°F. The average heat transfer coefficient on the interior surfaces of the van is 1.2 Btu/h?ft2?°F. The air flow over the exterior surfaces can be assumed to be turbulent because of the intense vibrations involved, and the heat transfer coefficient on the front and back surfaces can be taken to be equal to that on the top surface. Disregarding any heat gain or loss by radiation, determine the rate of heat transfer from the ambient air to the van. Assume the air flow to be entirely turbulent because of the intense vibrations involved. Use a film temperature of 80°F for evaluations of air properties at 1 atm.
