1. Humans are able to control their rates of heat production and heat loss to maintain a nearly constant core temperature of Te = 37°C under a wide range of environmental conditions. This process is called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating heat transfer between a human body and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin: fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, T = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L = mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3 "- The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m? and is dressed in a bathing suit. The m· K emissivity of the skin is ɛ = 0.95. a). When the person is in still air at T = 282 K, what is the skin surface temperature and rate of heat loss to the environment? Convection heat transfer to the air is characterized by a free convection coefficient of h 2 m2 -K b). When the person is in water at T = 282,…
Exercise 4.6.2 An insulation system around a cylindrical pipe consists of two different lay- ers. The first layer immediately on the outer surface of the pipe is made of glass wool and the second one is constructed using plaster of Paris. The cylinder diameter is 10 cm and each insulating layer is 1 cm thick. The thermal conductivity of the glass wool is 0.04 W/m°C and that of the plaster is 0.06 W/m °C. The cylinder carries hot oil at a temperature of 92°C, and the atmospheric temperature outside is 15°C. If the heat transfer coefficient from the outer surface of the insulation to the atmosphere is 15 W/m- C, calculate the temperature at the interface between the two insulating materials and on the outer surface.

Question 1 An electric current of 6.4 A passing through a resistor has a measured voltage of 9V across the resistor. The resistor is cylindrical with a diameter of 2.5 cm and length of 15 cm. The resistor has a uniform temperature of 115°C and the room air temperature is 23°C. Assuming that heat transfer by radiation is negligible, determine the heat transfer coefficient by convection.

A cylindrical pipe is made up of two materials. The inner material A, which has thermal conductivity of ka, has inner radius ra and outer radius re. On the other hand, the outer material B, which has thermal conductivity of kb, has inner radius re and outer radius rb. Contact resistance between the two materials is known to be hc. The temperature at the inner radius of material A (at ra) is Ta, while the temperature at the outer radius of material B (at ri) is T3. Find an expression for the temperature at the inner radius of material B (at r.) in terms of the given variables.
A furnace wall is to be designed to transmit a maximum heat flux of 220 Btu/hr.ft of wall area. The inside and outside wall temperatures are to be 2200 • F and 320 ° F.

Two large containers A and B of the same size are filled with different fluids. The fluids in containers A and B are maintained at 0° C and 100° C, respectively. A small metal bar, whose initial temperature is 100° C, is lowered into container A. After 1 minute the temperature of the bar is 90° C. After 2 minutes (since being lowered into container A) the bar is removed and instantly transferred into the other container. After 1 minute in container B the temperature of the bar rises 10°. How long, measured from the start of the entire process, will it take the bar to reach 99.5° C? (Round your answer to two decimal places. Assume the final temperature being asked for is reached while the bar is container B.)
