Problem 23.1
A dc transformer is supplied with electric power at 230 watts with an input voltage of 220 volts. The
transformer output is 1.9 amps at 110 V. The heat transfer surface area for the transformer can be
modeled as a 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm cube. The convection heat transfer coefficient for the transformer is
hconv=6 W/m².K.
(a) Determine the input current to the transformer, in amps.
(b) Determine the rate of heat transfer from the transformer at steady-state operation conditions,
in W.
(c) Determine the steady-state surface temperature of the transformer if the ambient air
temperature is 25°C.
Ans: a) 0.75 amps ≤ |I| ≤ 1.5 amps
b) 15 W ≤ ≤ 25 W
c) 90°C ≤ |T| ≤ 100°C (for 5 sides w/ heat transfer)
