Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer
- An electrical transmission line of 1.2-cm diameter carries a current of 200 amps and has a resistance of 310-4 ohm per meter of length. If the air around this line is at v, determine the surface temperature on a windy day, assuming a wind blows across the line at 33 km/h.arrow_forwardA spherical communications satellite, 2 m in diameter, is placed in orbit around the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of internal power from a small nuclear generator. If the surface of the satellite has an emittance of 0.3, and is shaded from solar radiation by the earth, estimate its surface temperature.arrow_forwardA horizontal, 3-mm-thick flat-copper plate, 1-m long and 0.5-m wide, is exposed in air at 27C to radiation from the sun. If the total rate of solar radiation absorbed is 300 W and the combined radiation and convection heat transfer coefficients on the upper and lower surfaces are 20 and 15W/m2K, respectively, determine the equilibrium temperature of the plate.arrow_forward

- A 6-m-internal-diameter spherical tank made of 1.5-cm-thick stainless steel (k = 15 W/m·K) is used to store iced water at 0°C in a room at 20°C. The walls of the room are also at 20°C. The outer surface of the tank is black (emissivity « = 1), and heat transfer between the outer surface of the tank and the surroundings is by natural convection and radiation. Assuming the entire steel tank to be at 0°C and thus the thermal resistance of the tank to be negligible, 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. The heat of fusion of water is 333.7 kJ/kg.arrow_forwardA long stainless-steel (AISI 316) steam pipe, with an inside diameter of 6.00 cm and an outside diameter of 8.00 cm, is covered with a layer of asbestos insulation (k = 0.150 W/m-K) 1.00 cm thick, which in turn is covered with foam insulation (k = 0.044 W/m-K) 6.00 cm thick. The inside surface temperature of the stainless-steel steam pipe is measured to be 250.0°C, while the outside surface of the foam is exposed to convection, T_inf = 25.0°C, h_inf = 15.0 W/m^2-K. • Draw and label a sketch of this system. Include dimensions, known temperatures, etc. • Draw and completely label the corresponding 1-D steady-state conduction resistor diagram. • Determine the heat transfer rate through the pipe per unit length. • Calculate the temperature at the asbestos/foam interface.arrow_forwardThe interior of a refrigerator whose dimensions are 0.05 x 0.05 dam base area and 1.25 m high, must be kept at 4 °C. The refrigerator walls are constructed of two steel sheets (k= 35 kcal/h.m.°C) 3 mm thick, with 65 mm of material insulation (k=0.213 kcal/h.m.°C) between them. The film coefficient of the inner surface is 10 kcal/h.m².°C, while on the external surface it varies from 8 to 12.5 kcal/h.m².°C. Calculate: a) The power (in HP) of the refrigerator motor so that the heat flux removed from the inside the refrigerator maintain the specified temperature, in a kitchen whose temperature can vary from 21 to 36 °C; b) The temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the wall.

Inner surfaceof the tank is 4℃, while the outer surface of the tank is painted with blackcolour paints with emissivity, ? = 0.88 measured at temperature 5℃. It islocated outdoor at 40℃ and is subjected to wind at 25 km/h. Determine the total heat transfer rate to the ice water.arrow_forwardBecause you forgot to let the pipes drip during a freezing night, a section of an outdoor pipe is now frozen. The frozen section is L = 1 m long and the inner pipe diameter is D = 1.8 cm. During the day, the pipe is exposed to the cold air, the Sun, and the radiating surroundings. The cold air temperature is T∞ = -10°C, and has convection heat transfer coefficient h = 20 W/m2·K. The Sun provides solar irradiance of Gsun = 1350 W/m2. The steel pipe surface has absorptivity α = 0.6 and emissivity ε= 0.1. The surroundings, such as vegetation, houses, ground, etc. can be assumed to be blackbody held at Tsur = 280 K. A) Using the energy conservation system illustrated below, establish an equation that describes the stored energy in the section of frozen water (Est). B) Determine the amount of time needed to melt the ice in the pipe. Ice has density ρ= 920 kg/m3, and latent heat of fusion hsf = 334 kJ/kg. The ice is Tw = 0°C.
