A billet of stainless steel, AISI 316, with a diameter of 150 mm and a length of 500 mm emerges from a heat treatment process at 200°C and is placed in an unstirred oil bath maintained at 20°C.
(a) Determine whether it is advisable to position the billet in the bath with its centerline horizontal or vertical in order to decrease the cooling time.
(b) Estimate the time for the billet to cool to 30°C for the preferred arrangement.

- In a solar collector 1 m wide by 4 m long, the glass cover plate at an average temperature of 29°C is spaced 40 mm from the absorber plate at an average temperature of 75°C. Estimate the convection heat loss coefficient from the absorber plate to the glass when the collector is positioned horizontally. What is the convection heat loss coefficient if the spacing reduced to 10 mm?arrow_forwardYou are designing a pin-style heatsink for forced cooling of an IC. A small fan blows RT air into the heatsink at about 2.3 ? ? . The aluminum pins are 2mm in diameter and have a constant surface temperature of 120°?. The heatsink is 100mm x 100mm and the pins have an inline arrangement with a transverse pitch of 4mm and a longitudinal pitch of 6mm. What is the total heat dissipation of this heatsink? The pins are 30mm high.

What is the minimum length of the plate necessary for the Reynolds number to reach 2x107? If the critical Reynolds number is 5x105, what type of flow regime would the airflow experience at 0.2 m from the leading edge? Please, I need the solution from fundamental concepts of how the heat flow behaves in the system. That it be answered with theory of the subjectarrow_forward
- A well-insulated inside room, 6 m wide and 9 m long with a 3 m ceiling height, is to be heated by means of a ceiling panel installation. It is desired to maintain the surface of the floor at a temperature of 27 oC. Determine the necessary ceiling surface temperature to meet this requirement if the floor is to be planed oak, the ceiling is to be painted with an oil paint, and it is estimated that the portion of the heating requirement to be supplied by radiation is 2 500 W. Assume the walls to be nonconducting but reradiating.arrow_forward(a) If the cost of producing the hot water is $0.10 per kWh, what is the representative daily costof heat loss from an uninsulated pipe to the air per meter of pipe length? The convectionresistance associated with water flow in the pipe may be neglected.(b) Determine the savings associated with application of a 10-mm-thick coating of urethaneinsulation (k = 0.026 W/m-K) to the outer surface of the pipe.arrow_forward
