The components of an electronic system dissipating 150 W are located in a 1-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 15 cm x 15 cm. The components in the duct are cooled by forced air, which enters at 30°C at a rate of 0.4 m³/min and leaves at 45°C. The surfaces of the sheet metal duct are not painted, and thus radiation heat transfer from the outer surfaces is negligible. If the ambient air temperature is 25°C, determine (a) the heat transfer from the outer surfaces of the duct to the ambient air by natural convection and (b) the average temperature of the duct.

Question
The components of an electronic system dissipating 150 W are located in a 1 -m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 15 cm X 15 cm. The components in the duct are cooled by forced air, which enters at 30°C at a rate of 0.4 m3/min and leaves at 45°C. The surfaces of the sheet metal duct are not painted, and thus radiation heat transfer from the outer surfaces is negligible. If the ambient air temperature is 25°C, determine (a) the heat transfer from the outer surfaces of the duct to the ambient air by natural convection and (b) the average temperature of the duct.
Transcribed Image Text:The components of an electronic system dissipating 150 W are located in a 1-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 15 cm x 15 cm.
The components in the duct are cooled by forced air, which enters at 30°C at a rate of 0.4 m³/min and leaves at 45°C. The surfaces of the
sheet metal duct are not painted, and thus radiation heat transfer from the outer surfaces is negligible. If the ambient air temperature is 25°C,
determine (a) the heat transfer from the outer surfaces of the duct to the ambient air by natural convection and (b) the average temperature
of the duct.
