Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate (k = 237 W/m?K) 22 cm * 22 cm in size. The heat generated by the transistors is to be dissipated by both surfaces of the plate to the surrounding air at 20°C, which is blown over the plate by a fan at a velocity of 250 m/min. The entire plate can be assumed to be nearly isothermal, and the exposed surface area of the transistor can be taken to be equal to its base area. Determine the temperature of the aluminum plate. Evaluate the air properties at a film temperature of 40°C and 1 atm.

The top surface of the passenger car of a train moving at a velocity of 70 km/h is 2.8 m wide and 8 m long. The top surface is absorbing solar radiation at a rate of 200 W/m?, and the temperature of the ambient air is 30°C. Assuming the roof of the car to be perfectly insulated and the radiation heat ex- change with the surroundings to be small relative to convec- tion, determine the equilibrium temperature of the top surface of the car.

Hot water at an average temperature of 80°C and an average velocity of 1.5 m/s is flowing through a 25-m section of a pipe that has an outer diameter of 5 cm. The pipe extends 2 m in the ambient air above the ground, dips into the ground (k= 1.5 W/m-°C) vertically for 3 m, and continues horizontally at this depth for 20 m more before it enters thenext building. The first section of the pipe is exposed to the ambient air at 8°C with a heat transfer coefficient of 22 W/m2.°C.

(e) The temperature drop of the hot water as it flows through this 25-m section of the wall.

The top surface of the passenger car of a train moving at a velocity of 115 km/h is 2.8 m wide and 8 m long. The top surface is absorbing solar radiation at a rate of 380 W/m2 and the temperature of the ambient air is 30°C. Assuming the roof of the car to be perfectly insulated and the radiation heat exchange with the surroundings to be small relative to convection, determine the equilibrium temperature of the top surface of the car.

Oil is flowing through a 50 mm-ID and 55 mm-OD pure iron pipe at 1 m/s. It is being heated by steam outside the pipe and steam film coefficient may be taken as 11 kW/m2°C. At a particular point along the pipe, the oil is at 50°C, its density is 880 kg/m³, its viscosity is 2.1 cP, its thermal conductivity is 0.135 W/m°C and its specific heat is 2.17 J/g°C. What is the overall heat transfer coefficient at this point, based on the inside area of the pipe?

Solar radiation is incident on the glass cover of a solar collector at a rate of 700W/m². The glass of collector absorbs 88 percent of the incident radiation on it and has an emissivity of 0.9. The entire hot water needs of a family can be provided by a single collector of 1.2m height and 2m width. The temperature of the glass cover of the collector is measured to be 35C° on a day when the surrounding air temperature is 25C° and the wind is blowing at 30km/h. The effective sky temperature for radiation exchange between the glass cover and the open sky is -40C°. Water enters the tubes which attached to the absorber plate at a rate of 1kg/min. Assuming the back surface of the absorber plate to be heavily insulated and the only heat loss to occur through the glass cover, determine (a) the total rate of heat loss from the collector, (b) the collector efficiency, which is the ratio of the amount of heat transferred to the water to the solar energy incident on the collector, and (c) the…

Air enters a 7-cm-diameter and 5-m-long tube at 65°C and leaves at 15°C. The tube is observed to be nearly isothermal at 5°C. If the average convection heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2.°C, determine the rate of heat transfer from the air. (Solve using EES, and round the answer to 2 decimal places.) The rate of heat transfer from the air is 491 W.

Determine the rate of heat transfer from the bottom surface of the engine block by convection and radiation as the car travels at a veloc- ity of 80 km/h. Assume the flow to be turbulent over the entire surface because of the constant agitation of the engine block.
