Question
Experiments have been conducted on a metallic cylinder 12.7 mm in diameter and 94 mm
long. The cylinder is heated internally by an electrical heater and is subjected to a cross
flow of air in a low-speed wind tunnel. Under a specific set of operating conditions for
which the upstream air velocity and temperature were maintained at V = 10 m/s and
26.2°C, respectively, the heater power dissipation was measured to be P = 46 W, while the
average cylinder surface temperature was determined to be T, = 128.4°C. It is estimated
that 15% of the power dissipation is lost through the cumulative effect of surface radiation
and conduction through the endpieces.
