Q1. A 1200-Wiron is left on the ironing board with its base exposed to the air (Figure 1). About 90 percent of the heat generated in the iron is dissipated through its base whose surface area is 150 cm?, and the remaining 10 percent through other surfaces. Assuming the heat transfer from the surface to be uniform determine (a) the amount of heat the iron dissipates during a 1- hour period, in kWh and (b) the total cost of the electrical energy consumed during this 1-hour period. Take the unit cost of electricity to be $0.07/kWh. Iron 1200 W

Mechanisms of heat transfer

Heat transfer is an essential discipline in thermal engineering that deals with the transfer, conversion, usability, and creation of heat or thermal energy. Transfer of heat occurs through various mechanisms like conduction, convection, radiation, and change of phases. All these mechanisms have distinct characteristics, but these mechanisms can simultaneously occur in an identical system.

Q1. A 1200-Wiron is left on the ironing board with its base exposed to the air (Figure 1). About
90 percent of the heat generated in the iron is dissipated through its base whose surface area is
150 cm?, and the remaining 10 percent through other surfaces. Assuming the heat transfer
from the surface to be uniform determine (a) the amount of heat the iron dissipates during a 1-
hour period, in kWh and (b) the total cost of the electrical energy consumed during this 1-hour
period. Take the unit cost of electricity to be $0.07/kWh.
