Determine the thermal conductivity of water vapor at 174°C.
The author and his then 6-year-old son have conducted the following experiment to determine the thermal conductivity of a hot dog. They first boiled water in a large pan and measured the temperature of the boiling water to be 94°C, which is not surprising, since they live at an elevation of about 1650 m in Reno, Nevada. They then took a hot dog that is 12.5 cm long and 2.2 cm in diameter and inserted a thermocouple into the midpoint of the hot dog and another thermocouple just under the skin. They waited until both thermocouples read 20°C, which is the ambient temperature. They then dropped the hot dog into boiling water and observed the changes in both temperatures. Exactly 2 min after the hot dog was dropped into the boiling water, they recorded the center and the surface temperatures to be 59°C and 88°C, respectively. The density of the hot dog can be taken to be 980 kg/m3, which is slightly less than the density of water, since the hot dog was observed to be floating in water while…

- The boiling temperature of nitrogen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm) is -196°C. Therefore, nitrogen is commonly used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the atmosphere will remain constant at -196°C until the liquid nitrogen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank will result in the evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heat of vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at 1 atm. Consider a 3-m-diameter spherical tank initially filled with liquid nitrogen at 1 atm and 196°C. The tank is exposed to 22°C ambient air with a heat transfer coefficient of 22 W/m2 · °C. The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical tank is observed to be almost the same as the temperature of the nitrogen inside. Disregarding any radiation heat exchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid nitrogen in the tank as a result of the heat transfer from the ambient air in kg/sec.

- The boiling temperature of oxygen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm) is -183ºC. Therefore, oxygen is used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid oxygen in a tank open to the atmosphere remains constant at -183ºC until the liquid oxygen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank results in the evaporation of some liquid oxygen, which has a heat of vaporization of 213 kJ/kg and a density of 1140 kg/m3at 1 atm. Consider a 4 m diameter spherical tank initially filled with liquid oxygen at 1 atm and -183ºC. The tank is exosed to 20ºC ambient ait with a heat transfer coefficient of 25 W/m2. ºC.
