- A 40-cm-long, 800-W electric resistance heating element with diameter 0.5 cm and surface temperature 120°C is immersed in 75 kg of water initially at 20°C. Determine how long it will take for this heater to raise the water temperature to 80°C. Also, determine the convection heat transfer coefficients at the beginning and at the end of the heating process.arrow_forwardThe top surface of the passenger car of a train moving at a velocity of 115 km/h is 2.8 m wide and 8 m long. The top surface is absorbing solar radiation at a rate of 380 W/m2 and the temperature of the ambient air is 30°C. Assuming the roof of the car to be perfectly insulated and the radiation heat exchange with the surroundings to be small relative to convection, determine the equilibrium temperature of the top surface of the car. The properties of air at 30°C are (Table A-15) k = 0.02588 W/m⋅°C, v = 1.608 × 10−5 m2/s, and Pr = 0.7282.The equilibrium temperature of the top surface of the car is:arrow_forwardIn a production facility, 3-cm-thick large brass plates (k =110 W/m·K, ρ= 8530kg/m3, Cp = 380 J/kg·K, and α= 33.9 x10-6 m2/s) that are initially at a uniform temperature of 25°C are heated by passing them through an oven maintained at 700°C. The plates remain in the oven for a period of 10 min. Taking the convection heat transfer coefficient to be h = 80 W/m2·K, determine the surface temperature ofthe plates when they come out of the oven.

The air temperature is 85°F and the fan is blowing air at a velocity of 6 ft/s. If the person is doing light work and generating sensible heat at a rate of 300 Btu/h, determine the average temperature of the outer surface (skin or clothing) of the person. The average human body can be treated as a 1-ft-diameter cylinder with an exposed surface area of 18 ft2. Disregard any heat transfer by radiation.
