In a nice Christmas evening, where the temperature is low compared to a summer night, an engineering student, studying Heat Transfer subject, and his brother decided to camp outside their house. The student gave advice to his brother, “Be cautious in setting up your bed, considering your body as a thermodynamic system, plenty of blankets to cover the top of your body, would not be sufficient enough creating an insulation for yourself. The bottom side contributes also to heat rejection in your body, therefore provide also layers of insulation on the bottom side.". Justify the claim of the engineering student by applying the concepts that you have learned so far in this subject.

If the furnace gases are at 1538C and the overall heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the billet is 68W/m2K, determine the maximum speed at which a continuous billet entering at 204C can travel through the furnace.
Heat is transferred at a rate of 0.1 kW through glass wool insulation (density=100kg/m3) with a 5-cm thickness and 2-m2 area. If the hot surface is at 70C, determine the temperature of the cooler surface.
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.

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.
2.9 In a large chemical factory, hot gases at 2273 K are cooled by a liquid at 373 K with gas-side and liquid-side convection heat transfer coefficients of 50 and , respectively. The wall that separates the gas and liquid streams is composed of a 2-cm thick oxide layer on the gas side and a 4-cm thick slab of stainless steel on the liquid side.
