Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.

The walls of the room are also at 25°C.The outer surface of the tank is black (emissivity « = 1),and heat transfer between the outer surface of the tank andthe surroundings is by natural convection and radiation. Theconvection heat transfer coefficients at the inner and theouter surfaces of the tank are 80 W/m2·K and 10 W/m2·K,respectively. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to theiced water in the tank and (b) the amount of ice at 0°C thatmelts during a 24-h period.

Steam at 320°C flows in a stainless steel pipe (k =15 W/m·K) whose inner and outer diameters are 5 cm and5.5 cm, respectively. The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thickglass wool insulation (k = 0.038 W/m·K). Heat is lost to thesurroundings at 5°C by natural convection and radiation, witha combined natural convection and radiation heat transfercoefficient of 15 W/m2·K. Taking the heat transfer coefficientinside the pipe to be 80 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heatloss from the steam per unit length of the pipe. Also determinethe temperature drops across the pipe shell and the insulation.
Calculate the rate of heat loss in breathing from heating up the air and moisturizing the air in kcal/day assuming the person inspires air at 20◦C (68◦F) that is very dry (0% relative humidity) at a rate of 6L/min and exhales air (at the same rate of course) at 37 ◦C (98.6 ◦F) that is totally saturated with water vapor (100% relative humidity, 47.1 mmHg partial pressure, 44.0 g/m3 water vapor). Ans: The heat loss in raising the temperature of the air is 40 kcal/day, the heat loss in moisturizing the air is 220 kcal/day.
A naked patient undergoes surgery in a warm room. Determine the ratio Pc /Pe, where Pc is the heat-power lost from the patient due to air convection and Pe is the heat-power lost from the patient due to evaporation. Take the skin temperature to be 32oC, the room temperature to be 29oC, the total body area to be 1.3 m2, the emissivity e = 1.0, and the convection of coefficient, q = 7.1 W/(m2.K). Take water to be lost from the patient by evaporation at a rate of 40 g/(m2.hr) and assume this to be pure water.
