During a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4-m-high and 10-m-long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5°C and the surface temperature of the wall is 12°C, determine the rate of heat loss from that wall by convection. What would your answer be if the wind velocity was doubled?

An average person generates heat at a rate of 84 W while resting. Assuming one-quarter of this heat is lost from the head and disregarding radiation, determine the average surface temperature of the head when it is not covered and is subjected to winds at 10°C and 25 km/h. The head can be approximated as a 30-cm-diameter sphere. Assume a surface temperature of 15°C for evaluation of ms. Is this a good assumption?

Consider a 50-cm-diameter and 95-cm-long hot water tank. The tank is placed on the roof ofa house. The water inside the tank is heated to 80℃ by a flat-plate solar collector during theday. The tank is then exposed to windy air at 18℃ with an average velocity of 40 km/h duringthe night. Estimate the temperature of the tank after a 45-min period. Assume the tank surfaceto be at the same temperature as the water inside, and the heat transfer coefficient on the topand bottom surfaces to be the same as that on the side surface. Evaluate the air properties at50℃. (Answer: 69.9 ℃)
