The heat transfer rate due to free convection from a vertical surface, 1 m high and 0.6 m wide, to quiescent air that is 20 K colder than the surface is known. What is the ratio of the heat transfer rate for that situation to the rate corresponding to a vertical surface, 0.6 m high and 1m wide, when the quiescent air is 20 K warmer than the surface? Neglect heat transfer by radiation and any influence of temperature on the relevant thermo physical properties of air.

The tip is a cylinder 3 mm in diameter and 10 mm long. The surrounding air temperature is 20C, and the average convection heat transfer coefficient over the tip is 20W/m2K. The tip is highly polished initially, giving it a very low emittance.arrow_forward1.15 A thermocouple (0.8-mm-diameter wire) used to measure the temperature of the quiescent gas in a furnace gives a reading of . It is known, however, that the rate of radiant heat flow per meter length from the hotter furnace walls to the thermocouple wire is 1.1 W/m and the convection heat transfer coefficient between the wire and the gas is K. With this information, estimate the true gas temperature. State your assumptions and indicate the equations used.arrow_forward
- A spherical communications satellite, 2 m in diameter, is placed in orbit around the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of internal power from a small nuclear generator. If the surface of the satellite has an emittance of 0.3, and is shaded from solar radiation by the earth, estimate its surface temperature.arrow_forwardA long wire 0.7 mm in diameter with an emissivity of 0.9 is placed in a large quiescent air space at 270 K. If the wire is at 800 K, calculate the net rate of heat loss. Discuss your assumptions.arrow_forwardA 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_forward

Comment on the possible effect of radiation on your answer.arrow_forwardDifferentiate between free and forced convection with examples.arrow_forwardA hot liquid (cp = 1000 J/kg∙K) flows at a flow rate of 0.05 kg/s inside a copper pipe with an inner diameter of 45 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm. At the pipe exit, the liquid temperature decreases by 10°C from its temperature at the inlet. The outer surface of the 5-m-long copper pipe is black oxidized, which subjects the outer surface to radiation heat transfer. The air temperature surrounding the pipe is 10°C. Assuming that the properties of air can be evaluated at 35°C and 1 atm pressure, determine the outer surface temperature of the pipe. Is 35°C an appropriate film temperature for evaluation of the air properties?arrow_forward
