- A 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_forwardAn 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 solar collector consists of a horizontal copper tube of outer diameter 5 cm enclosed in a concentric thin glass tube of 9 cm diameter. Water is heated as it flows through the tube, and the annular space between the copper and glass tube is filled with air at 1 atm pressure. During a clear day, the temperatures of the tube surface and the glass cover are measured to be 60°C and 32°C, respectively. Determine the rate of heat loss from the collector by natural convection per meter length of the tube.arrow_forward
- The 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. Given 1 HP = 641.2 Kcal/harrow_forwardThe emissivity of galvanized steel sheet, a common roofing material, is ε = 0.13 at temperatures around 300 K, while its absorptivity for solar irradiation is αS = 0.65. Would the neighborhood cat be comfortable walking on a roof constructed of the material on a day when GS = 750 W/m2, T∞ = 16°C, and h = 7 W/m2 · K? Assume the bottom surface of the steel is insulated.arrow_forwardA long 2-in-diameter rod with surface temperature of 200°F is submerged in a bath of fluid.

The enclosure between the two concentric spherical surfaces is filled with nitrogen gas at 1 atm.

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_forwardThe 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. The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical tank is observed to be almost the same as the temperature of the oxygen inside. Disregarding any radiation heat exchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid oxygen in the tank as a result of the heat transfer from the ambient airarrow_forward
- 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.
