- Consider a two-layer sphere with inside fluid convection rate h1 and outer rate h2. The first layer has inside radius r1 and outside radius r2. The second layer has outside radius r3. What is the general equation for the total resistance? Neglect thermal contact resistance.arrow_forwardA small, oxidized, horizontal metal tube with an OD of 0.0254 m (1 in.), 0.61 m (2 ft) long, and with a surface temperature at 588 K (600°F) is in a very large furnace enclosure with fire-brick walls and the surrounding air at 1088 K (1500°F). The emissivity of the metal tube is 0.60 at 1088 K and 0.46 at 588 K. Calculate the heat transfer to the tube by radiation using SI units and AES units.arrow_forwardConsider a black spherical ball, with a diameter of 25 cm, is being suspended in air. Determine the surface temperature of the ball that should be maintained in order to heat 11.7 kg of air from 20°C to 30°C in the duration of 5 minutes.Given: cv = 718 J/kg∙K Stefan-Boltzmann constant (σ) = 5.67 × 10–8 W/m2∙K The surface temperature of the ball is Ts = _____ °C.arrow_forward

What electrical power is required when the room air and surroundings are at 24 °C?arrow_forward
- A plate (0.5 m * 0.5 m) is inclined at an angle of 30°. The top surface of the plate is well insulated. Estimate the rate of heat loss from the plate when the bottom surface is maintained at 60°C and the surrounding atmospheric quiescent air is at 0°C.arrow_forwardAn insulated wall has a total thermal resistance of 2.5 K/W for an area of 1 m^2. In winter, the room temperature is held at 25 C, and the outside temperature is at -5 C. The convective coefficient for the inside air is estimated as h=10 W/m^2*K, and the convective coefficient for the outside air is estimated as h0=20 W/m^2*K.
