Arrays of parallel equally spaced vertical thin plates are connected to the surface of a natural convection air heater. The plates are maintained at a fixed temperature of 75°C by embedding electrical heaters. The plates are 305-mm high and 305-mm long. The whole set-up is in an area where the air temperature is 20°C. The total width of the array cannot exceed 150-mm. What is the plate spacing in millimeters that maximizes heat transfer from the array?
Thermal comfort in a house is strongly affected by the so called radiation effect,which is due to radiation heat transfer between the person and the surrounding surfaces,a person feels much colder in the morning.For example ,because of the lower surface temperature of the walls at that time,although the thermostat setting of the house is fixed.Write an essay on the radiation effect,how it affects human comfort,and how it is accounted for in heating and air-conditioning applications
The onset of free convection. Plastic shrink wrap can be used to insulate windows by trapping air between your window and the wrapping. Calculate the critical gap width between the plastic and the window at which free convection will occur on an average winter’s day, when the outside temperature is 41°F and the inside temperature is 68°F. Would you expect there to be more or less heat transfer when the spacing is above this gap? Explain.
