Heat sterilization of lumber, timbers, and pallets is used to kill insects to prevent their transfer between countries in international trade. This is analogous to food sterilization by heat. A typical requirement here is that the slowest heating point of any wood configuration be held at 56 °C for 30 minutes. Consider hot air heating of wooden boards that maintains their surface temperature at 70 °C. The boards are stacked outside and in the winter time they can be considered to be at 0 °C when they are brought in for heating. The thermal diffusivity of the wood is 9*10-8 m?/s. •Calculate the time from the start of heating for a 2.5 cm thick board to reach a sterilization temperature of 56 °C at its slowest heating point.

Recent studies show that the major energy consumption in Fijian villages is wood which is used for cooking on open fires. Typical consumption of wood is 1 kg/person/day. (a) Estimate the heat energy required to boil a 2 litre pot full of water. Assuming this to be the cooking requirement of each person, compare this with the heat content of the wood, and thus estimate the thermal efficiency of the open fire. (b) How much timber has to be felled each year to cook for a village of 200 people ? Assuming systematic replanting, what area of crop must the village therefore set aside for fuel use if it is not to make a net deforestation ?

Question : Studies show that the major energy consumption in Fijian villages is wood which is used for cooking over open fires. Typical consumption of wood is 1 kg person–1day–1. (a) Estimate the heat energy required to boil a 2-liter pot full of water. Assuming this to be the cooking requirement of each person, compare this with the heat content of the wood, and thus estimate the thermal efficiency of the open fire. (b) How much timber has to be felled each year to cook for a village of 200 people?Assuming systematic replanting, what area of crop must the village therefore set aside for fuel use if it is not to make a net deforestation? Hint: refer to Table 10.4. (c) Comment on the realism of the assumptions made, and revise your estimates accordingly. Answer: (a) mcDT ≈ 0.6 MJ (heat losses from pot imply actual requirement is higher). h ≈ 3%. (b) 70 tonnes; 7 ha.
An underwater sonar that maps the ocean bathymetry is encapsulated in a sphere with a diameter of 85 mm. During operation, the sonar generates heat at a rate of 300W. What is the sonar surface temperature when it’s located in a water column where the temperature is 15o C and the water current is 1 m/sec? The sonar was pulled out of the water without turning it off, thus, it was still working. The air temperature was 15o C and the air speed was 3 m/sec. What was the sonar surface temperature? Was there any reason for concern?
Stainless steel (AISI 304) ball bearings, which have been uniformly heated to 850°C, are hardened by quenching them in an oil bath that is maintained at 40°C. The ball diameter is 12.5 mm, and the convection coefficient associated with the oil bath is 1000 W/m².K. (a) If quenching is to occur until the surface temperature of the balls reaches 100°C, how long, in s, must the balls be kept in the oil? What is the center temperature, in °C, at the conclusion of the cooling period? (b) If 10,000 balls are to be quenched per hour, what is the rate at which energy must be removed, in kW, by the oil bath cooling system in order to maintain its temperature at 40°C? Evaluate the properties of the stainless steel (AISI 304) at 500 K. Part A If quenching is to occur until the surface temperature of the balls reaches 100°C, how long, in s, must the balls be kept in the oil? What is the center temperature, in °C, at the conclusion of the cooling period? t = T₁ = i i S °℃

It is packed in a container in the shape of a flat slab with all faces insulated except for the top flat surface, which is exposed to the air at 278.0 K. For estimation purposes, the surface temperature will be assumed to be 278 K. The slab is 152.4 mm thick and the exposed surface area is 0.186 m2. The density of the food- stuff is 641 kg/m2. The heat of respiration is 0.070 kJ/kg h and the thermal conduc- tivity is 0.346 W/m K. Calculate the maximum temperature in the food product at steady state and the total heat given off in W. (Note: It is assumed in this problem that there is no air circulation inside the foodstuff. Hence, the results will be conser- vative, since circulation during respiration will reduce the temperature.) /1 1
