16-90 An electric heater with the total surface area of 0.25 m² and emissivity 0.75 is in a room where the air has a temperature of 20°C and the walls are at 10°C. When the heater consumes 500 W of electric power, its surface has a steady temperature of 120°C. Determine the temperature of the heater surface when it consumes 700 W. Solve the problem (a) assuming negligible radiation and (b) taking radiation into consideration. Based on your results, comment on the assumption made in part (a).

A 0.025-mm-diameter stainless steel wire having K =16 W/m • C is connected to two electrodes. The length of the wire is 80 cm and it is exposed to a convection environment at 20 •C with h = 500 W/m2 • •C. A voltage is impressed on the wire that produces temperatures at each electrode of 200 -C. Determine the total heat lost by the wire in cal/hr.

0.3MW / m3 heat is generated in a 6 cm thick flat wall. One surface of the wall is insulated and the other surface is exposed to an environment of 93C. The convection heat coefficient between the wall and the environment is 570 W / m2C and the heat conduction coefficient for the wall is 21 W / Since it is mC, calculate the maximum temperature (T0) inside the wall (C).
It is measured that a 2-m2 wall has a heat transfer rate of 7200 W. If the thickness of the wall is 0.02-m and the temperature difference on either side of the wall is 60ºC, determine the thermal conductivity in W/m K.
A carton (50 cm x 30 cm x 85 cm) of milk, initially at 23°C, was placed in a refrigerator with the thermostat set to 4°C. After 3 hours, the temperature of the milk dropped by 3.6°C. Using the lumped systems analysis, estimate the heat transfer coefficient for the cooling of milk in the refrigerator given the following properties of milk: Density: 1035 kg/m³ Specific heat capacity: 3930 J/kg.K Thermal conductivity: 0.278 W/m·K Explain why the lumped system analysis is applicable in this situation.
You want to heat a house on a very cold day as shown in the figure. To do this, you want to use photovoltaic panels as an energy source. It would be about using 15 panels each with an area of 1.5 m2. These panels would be connected to an electrical resistance that would heat the house as shown in the figure. The house is losing heat through the walls and ceiling as shown in the figure. The panels are receiving solar radiation at a rate of 800 W / m2 and if their efficiency is 15%. How much will the temperature of the house rise after an hour? The house is hermetically sealed. Assume that the specific heats of air, cv and cp, are constant as shown in the figure. sol = sun fuga = leakage aire = air
student was asked to do an experiment on a refrigerator test kit during an undergraduate laboratory class in an engineering college. He conducted the experiment for a period of 30 minute and measured that the refrigerated space is maintained at -5°C, while the temperature of the laboratory is 20°C. According to his experiment, it has found that during the experiment the refrigerator draws 1 kWh of electrical energy and 40000 kJ of heat is removed from the refrigerated space. Do you think there is an error in his experiment?
