- 1.13 If the outer air temperature in Problem is –2°C, calculate the convection heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface of the window and the air, assuming radiation is negligible.arrow_forwardThree thin sheets of polished aluminum are placed parallel to each other so that the distance between them is very small compared to the size of the sheets. If one of the outer sheets is at 280C and the other outer sheet is at 60C, calculate the temperature of the intermediate sheet and the net rate of heat flow by radiation. Convection can be ignored.arrow_forwardDetermine the rate of radiant heat emission in watts per square meter from a blackbody at (a) 15C, (b) 600C, and (c) 5700C.arrow_forward
- Two concentric spheres of diameters D1 = 15 cm and D2 = 25 cm are separated by air at 1 atm pressure. The surface temperatures of the two spheres enclosing the air are T1 = 350 K and T2 = 275 K, respectively, and their emissivities are 0.75. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the inner sphere to the outer sphere by (a) natural convection and (b) radiation.arrow_forwardTwo very large walls are at constant temperature of 658oF and 856oF. Assuming that the walls behave like black bodies, how much heat in Btu/hr-ft2 must be removed from the colder wall in order to maintain a constant pressure (σ=0.1714x10-8 Btu/hr-ft2-R)arrow_forwardA 2-m-internal-diameter double-walled spherical tank is used to store iced water at 0°C. Each wall is 0.5 cm thick, and the 1.5-cm-thick air space between the two walls of the tank is evacuated in order to minimize heat transfer. The surfaces surrounding the evacuated space are polished so that each surface has an emissivity of 0.15. The temperature of the outer wall of the tank is measured to be 20°C. Assuming the inner wall of the steel tank to be at 0°C, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the iced water in the tank and (b) the amount of ice at 0°C that melts during a 24-h period.arrow_forward

The enclosure between the two concentric spherical surfaces is filled with nitrogen gas at 1 atm. If both concentric sphere surfaces are black (« = 1), determine the rate of heat transfer on the inner surface.arrow_forwardA 5-in-diameter spherical ball is known to emit radiation at a rate of 550 Btu/h when its surface temperature is 950 R.

- A 5-m-internal-diameter spherical tank made of 1.5-cm-thick stainless steel (k = 15 W/m-°C) is used to store iced water at 0°C. The tank is located in a room whose temperature is 30°C. The walls of the room are also at 30°C. The outer surface of the tank is gray (emissivity = 0.9), and heat transfer between the outer surface of the tank and the surroundings is by natural convection and radiation. The convection heat transfer coefficients at the inner and the outer surfaces of the tank are 80 W/m²-°C and 10 W/m²-°C, respectively. Determine the amount of ice at 0°C that melts during a 24-h period. The heat of fusion of water at atmospheric pressure is hfg = 333.7 kJ/kg.\ ANSWER:_____kgarrow_forwardConsider a thin 16-cm-long and 20-cm-wide horizontal plate suspended in air at 20°C. The plate is equipped with electric resistance heating elements with a rating of 20 W. Now the heater is turned on and the plate temperature rises. Determine the temperature of the plate when steady operating conditions are reached. The plate has an emissivity of 0.90 and the surrounding surfaces are at 17°C. As an initial guess, assume a surface temperature of 50°C. Is this a good assumption?arrow_forwardAn electronic box that consumes 200 W of power is cooled by a fan blowing air into the box enclosure. The dimensions of the electronic box are 15 cm * 50 cm * 50 cm, and all surfaces of the box are exposed to the ambient except the base surface. Temperature measurements indicate that the box is at an average temperature of 32°C when the ambient temperature and the temperature of the surrounding walls are 25°C. If the emissivity of the outer surface of the box is 0.75, determine the fraction of the heat lost from the outer surfaces of the electronic box.arrow_forward
