A furnace tor processing semiconductor materials isformed by a silicon carbide chamber that is zone-heatedon the top section and cooled on the lower section. Withthe elevator in the lowest position, a robot arm inserts thesilicon water on the mounting pins. In a production operation, the wafer is rapidly moved toward the hot zone toachieve the temperature-time history required tor theprocess recipe. In this position, the top and bottom surfaces of the wafer exchange radiation with the hot andcool zones, respectively, of the chamber. The zonetemperatures are T h = 1500 K and T c = 330 K , and theemissivity and thickness of the wafer are ∈ = 0.65 and d = 0.78 mm . respectively.

You are asked to design a metal hot dog holder for roasting hot dogs over an opencampfire. The holder is to be designed such that while the end holding the hot dogbecomes cherry red (1400oF), the other end can still be held without using aninsulated handle or glove (~95oF). Design it such that it can be used even on awarm, still day, Tf = 90oF (Assume the convective heat transfer coefficient, h, fora horizontal cylinder is uniform over the whole cylinder and equal to 4.0Btu/hrft2oF)
Engine oil at 54oC flows over the upper surface of a 5m long plate whose temperature is 20oC with a velocity of 2m/s. What is the heat transfer rate per unit width of the plate?
The fuel assembly shown in the left figure consists of periodic arrays of annular bare fuel rods, which are cooled by passing water through the center of the rods as well as over the outer surface. We want to analyze the thermal performance of the fuel rods by dividing the assembly into a number of unit cells (control volumes) and evaluating the performance of a cell, as shown in the right figure.
