- 3.9 The heat transfer coefficients for the flow of 26.6°C air over a sphere of 1.25 cm in diameter are measured by observing the temperature-time history of a copper ball the same dimension. The temperature of the copper ball was measured by two thermocouples, one located in the center and the other near the surface. The two thermocouples registered, within the accuracy of the recording instruments, the same temperature at any given instant. In one test run, the initial temperature of the ball was 66°C, and the temperature decreased by 7°C in 1.15 min. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient for this case.arrow_forward5.43 A refrigeration truck is traveling at 130 km/h on a desert highway where the air temperature is . The body of the truck is idealized as a rectangular box 3 m wide, 2.1 m high, and 6 m long, at a surface temperature . Assume that (1) the heat transfer from the front and back of the truck is neglected, (2) the stream does not separate from the surface, and (3) the boundary layer is turbulent over the whole surface. Calculate the required cooling rate of the refrigeration unit.arrow_forwardRepeat Problem 1.35 but assume that instead of surface temperatures, the given temperatures are those of the air on the left and right sides of the wall and that the convection heat transfer coefficients on the left and right surfaces are 6 and 10W/m2K, respectively.arrow_forward
