Take the emissivity of the skin and the clothes to be 0.9, and assume the temperature of the inner surfaces of the room to be the same as the air temperature.

An average man has a body surface area of 1.8 m2 and a skin temperature of 330C. The convective heat transfer coefficient for a clothed person walking in still air is expressed as h= 8.6V0.53 where V is the walking velocity in m/s. Assuming the average surface temperature of the clothed person to be 300C, determine the rate of heat lost by convection from an average man walking in still air at 100C at a walking velocity of 1.2 m/s.
When is the heat transfer through a fluid conduction and when is it convection? For which case is the rate of heat transfer higher? How does the convection heat transfer differ from the thermal conductivity of the fluid?
Consider a cold aluminum canned drink that is initially at a uniform temperature of 4°C. The can is 12.5 cm high and has a diameter of 6 cm. If the combined convection/radiation heat transfer coefficient between the can and the surrounding air at 25°C is 10 W/m2 · °C, determine how long it will take for the average temperature of the drink to rise to 15°C. In an effort to slow down the warming of the cold drink, a person puts the can in a perfectly fitting 1-cm-thick cylindrical rubber insulator (k = 0.13 W/m · °C). Now how long will it take for the average temperature of the drink to rise to 15°C? Assume the top of the can is not covered.
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.
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.)
What are the mechanisms of heat transfer? How are they distinguished from each other?
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.
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. Also, determine the amount of heat transfer from each apple. Solve this problem using analytical one-term approximation method (notthe Heisler charts). Answer: Center: 11.2 ℃, Surface: 2.7 ℃, heat transfer: 17.2 kJ
Why is this equation fundamental in the analysis of heat transfer? Why is this a big deal for engineers?

Determine how long it will take for this heater to raise the water temperature to 80°C. Also, determine the convection heat transfer coefficients at the beginning and at the end of the heating process.
