- Two surfaces of a 2-cm-thick plate are maintained at 0°C and 100°C, respectively. If it is determined that heat is transferred through the plate at a rate of 500 W/m2 , determine its thermal conductivity.arrow_forwardIn liquid and gases, heat transmission is primarily caused by A. conduction as well as convection B. conduction C. convection D. Radiationarrow_forwardStainless-steel ball bearings (ρ = 8085 kg/m3 and cp = 0.480 kJ/kg·°C) having a diameter of 1.8 cm are to be quenched in water at a rate of 1100 per minute. The balls leave the oven at a uniform temperature of 900°C and are exposed to air at 20°C for a while before they are dropped into the water. If the temperature of the balls drops to 850°C prior to quenching, determine the rate of heat transfer from the balls to the air.arrow_forward
- On a summer day in Phoenix, Arizona, the inside room temperature is maintained at 68° F while the outdoor air temperature is a sizzling 110° F . What is the outdoor– indoor temperature difference in (a) degrees Fahrenheit, (b) degrees Rankine, (c) degrees Celsius, and (d) kelvin? Is one degree temperature difference in Celsius equal to one temperature difference in kelvin, and is one degree temperature difference in Fahrenheit equal to one degree temperature difference in Rankine? If so, why?arrow_forwardA 300-ft-long section of a steam pipe whose outer diameter is 4 in passes through an open space at 50°F. The average temperature of the outer surface of the pipe is measured to be 280°F, and the average heat transfer coefficient on that surface is determined to be 6 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss from the steam pipe and (b) the annual cost of this energy loss if steam is generated in a natural gas furnace having an efficiency of 86 percent, and the price of natural gas is $1.10/therm (1 therm = 100,000 Btu).arrow_forwardWhat are the mechanisms of heat transfer?arrow_forward
- A student living in a 4-m x 6-m x 6-m dormitory room turns on her 150-W fan before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat transfer through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 10 h later. Use specific heat values at room temperature, and assume the room to be at 100 kPa and 15°C in the morning when she leaves.arrow_forwardA student living in a 4-m x 6-m x 6-m dormitory room turns on her 150-W fan before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening.
