"For section 7, list the ONE PRIMARY way that heat transfers through this section. Section 7 involves heat moving through the solid outside wall, between the inside and outside surfaces of the outside wall."
Name the processes by which heat can be transferred from one place to another. Which one does not require a medium?
You leave a pastry in the refrigerator on a plate and ask your roommate to take it out before you get home so you can eat it at room temperature, the way you like it. Instead, your roommate plays video games for hours.When you return, you notice that the pastry is still cold, but the game console has become hot. Annoyed, and knowing that the pastry will not be good if it is microwaved, you warm up the pastry by unplugging the console and putting it in a clean trash bag (which acts as a perfect calorimeter) with the pastry on the plate. After a while, you find thatthe equilibrium temperature is a nice, warm 38.3 °C . You know that the game console has a mass of 2.1 kg. Approximate it as having a uniform initial temperature of 45 °C . The pastry has a mass of 0.16 kg and a specific heat of 3.0 k J/(kg · ºC), and is at a uniform initial temperatureof 4.0 °C . The plate is at the same temperature and has a mass of 0.24 kg and a specific heat of 0.90 J/(kg · ºC) . What is the specific heat…
6. a. The heat flux applied to the walls of the biomass combustion furnace is 20 W/m2. The furnace walls have a thickness of 10 mm and a thermal conductivity of 12 W/m.K. If the wall surface temperature is measured to be 50oC on the left and 30oC on the right, prove that conduction heat transfer occurs at a steady state!b. Heating the iron cylinder on the bottom side is done by placing the iron on the hotplate. This iron has a length of 20 cm. The surface temperature of the hotplate is set at 300oC while the top side of the iron is in contact with the still outside air. To reach the desired hotplate temperature, it takes 5 minutes. Then it takes 15 minutes to measure the temperature of the upper side of the iron cylinder at 300oC. Show 3 proofs that heat transfer occurs transiently
a pipe with an outside diameter of 2.7 inches. insulate with a 2 inches. layer of asbestos (ka = 0.396 btu-in./hr-ft-F), followed by a layer of cork 1.5 inches. thick (kc = 0.30 btu-in/hrft-F). if the temperature of the outer surface of the cork is 91 F, calculate the heat lost per 100 ft of insulate pipe. The temp of the inner surface of the pipe is 275 F.

Are the energy developed by heat, chemical reactions, and electromagnetic effects neglected in mechanical engineering?
A solar-energy collector produces a maximum temperature of 200 C. The collected energy is used in a cyclic heat engine that operates in a 7 C environment. What is the maximum thermal efficiency? What-if Scenario What would the maximum efficiency be if the collector were redesigned to focus the incoming light to enhance the maximum temperature to 500 C ?
As an intern on the shop floor of your engineering firm, you are asked to come up with a makeshift door handle for a furnace. When the furnace is in operation, the external surface of the door is approximately 160°C. You search the scrap metal bin and find some sort of carbon steel rod that you believe you can bend into a U-shape and weld to the outer door surface. The rod is 50 cm long with a 6 mm diameter. There is negligible contact resistance through the weld joint and surrounding air at 24°C will cool the handle (h = 15 W/m² · K). a) You know that attaching a metal rod to a hot object might cause someone to get burned, so in analyzing your handle you want to be as cautious as possible. Since you don't know what kind of carbon steel you have found, you will have to estimate its relevant properties. Choose properties of the carbon steel from Table A.1 that will ultimately predict the largest handle temperatures during analysis. b) What is the coolest temperature of the handle? c)…
Estimate the volume of your kitchen oven and guess how many Watts it takes to pre-heat the air in your oven from 22 °C (72° F) to 221 °C (~430° F)? If the amount of steel that is heated in the inside of the oven totals 3 kg, how many Watts additionally does it take to pre-heat that? Time your oven to preheat and estimate the average Q needed.
