The heat transfer coefficient for air flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature-time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 12.7 mm in diameter, is at 66°C before it is inserted into an airstream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 55°C 69 s after the sphere is inserted into the airstream. Assume and then justify that the sphere behaves as a spacewise isothermal object and calculate the heat transfer coefficient.

A poor heat-conducting copper alloy (k = 45 BTU – ft/hr – ft² – °F) is drawn into 0.012-ft diameter wire for a critical aerospace application in an electronics enclosure. The conditions within the enclosure are maintained at 90°F by a forced air-cooling system. To keep the copper alloy below 270°F and to maximize heat transfer, the wire is to be covered with insulation (k = 0.03 BTU – ft/hr – ft² – °F ). The effective film coefficient for the insulation has been conservatively estimated as 2.0 BTU/hr – ft2 – °F. - - What insulation thickness should be used over the wire to maximize heat transfer? 2.

A 10 cm-thick beef steak is being frozen in a -40°C room. The product has 73% moisture content, density of 970 kg/m³, and thermal conductivity (frozen) of 1.1 W/(m K). Estimate the freezing time using Plank’s equation. The product has an initial freezing temperature of -1.75°C, and the movement of air in the freezing room provides a convective heat-transfer coefficient of 10 W/(m² K). a. tf =... h
The main body of plenum is a steel vessel of diameter 0.1meters has two semicircle domed ends. During operation is will contain mix of fuel and air at approximately 250OC. The wall of the vessel is 0.03meters thick and the plenum is 0.45meters long. Estimate the rate of heat loss from the vessel when the outside air temperature is 45OC. The thermal conductivity of steel is 45 W/m K and the surface heat transfer coefficient on the air side is 8 W/m2 . On the inside it is 65W/m2 . If it was possible to clad the plenum calculate the reduction in the rate of heat loss. Assume the lagging would be 5mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of 0.05 W/m.
