Question

Problem 1
Because you forgot to let the pipes drip during a freezing night, a section of an outdoor pipe is now
frozen. The frozen section is L = 1 m long and the inner pipe diameter is D = 1.8 cm. During the
day, the pipe is exposed to the cold air, the Sun, and the radiating surroundings. The cold air
temperature is T = -10°C, and has convection heat transfer coefficient h= 20 W/m² K. The Sun
provides solar irradiance of Gsun = 1350 W/m². The steel pipe surface has absorptivity a = 0.6 and
emissivity = 0.1. The surroundings, such as vegetation, houses, ground, etc. can be assumed to
be blackbody held at Tsur = 280 K.

(b) Determine the amount of time needed to melt the ice in the pipe.
Ice has density p=920 kg/m³, and latent heat of fusion ht=334 kJ/kg. The ice is Tw=0°C. Ignore
conduction through the pipe walls - assume the pipe itself is thin and thermally conducting metal.

The plumbing system of a house involves a 0.5-m section of a plastic pipe (k = 0.16 W/m-C) of inner diameter 2 cm and outer diameter 2.4 cm exposed to the ambient air (refer to figure 3). During a cold and windy night, the ambient air temperature remains at about -5°C for a period of 14 h. The combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the pipe is estimated to be about 40 W/m2-°C, and the heat of fusion of water is 333.7 kJ/kg. Assuming the pipe to contain stationary water initially at 0°C. (20 pts.) determine (a) if the water in that section of the pipe will completely freeze that night. (b) What is to be done to be sure that water doesn't freeze during the period of 14 h.
400 circumferential fins of rectangular profile (k = 386 W/m °C) are installed on a tube having a diameter of 3 cm and 1 m length that is maintained at a temperature of 200°C. The single fin has a length of 2 cm and a thickness of 0.7 mm. The heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 100°C with a convection heat-transfer coefficient of 524 W/m2 °C. How many times is the heat transfer rate enhanced when the fins are installed on the tube?
A common annoyance in cars during winter is the formation of fog on the glass surfaces that blocks the view. A practical way of solving this problem is to blow hot air or to attach electric resistance heaters to the inner surfaces. Consider the rear window of a car that consists of a 0.4-cm-thick glass (k = 0.84 W/m-K and a = 0.39 x 10-6 m2/s). Strip heater wires of negligible thickness are attached to the inner surface of the glass, 4 cm apart. Each wire generates heat at a rate of 25 W/m length. Initially, the entire car, including its windows, is at the outdoor temperature of To= -3°C. The heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the glass can be taken to be h;= 6 and ho= 20 W/m².K, respectively. Use the explicit finite difference method with a mesh size of Ax = 0.2 cm along the thickness and Ay=1 cm in the direction normal to the heater wires.

Hot engine oil is being transported in a horizontal pipe (k = 15 W/m∙K, Di = 5 cm) with a wall thickness of 5 mm. The pipe is covered with a 5-mm-thick layer of insulation (k = 0.15 W/m∙K). A length of 2 m of the outer surface is exposed to cool air at 10°C. If the pipe inner surface temperature is at 90°C, determine the outer surface temperature. Hint: The pipe outer surface temperature has to be found iteratively. Begin the calculations by using a film temperature of 50°C.
The wall of an oven in an industrial plant, made of fire brick (k = 0.71 W/m/K) has thickness of L = 15 cm. The oven is exposed to air at 28oC and the surfaces of the far surroundings are at 20oC. If the temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 92oC and the heat transfer coefficient and emissivity are 20 W/(m^2*K) and 0.8 respectively, determine the temperature of the inner surface of the wall.
