If T s ≈ T s u r in Equation 1.9, the radiation heat transfer coefficient may be approximated as h r , a = 4 ∈ σ T ¯ 3 where T ¯ ≡ ( T s + T s u r ) / 2 . We wish to assess the validity of this approximation by comparing values of h r and h r , a for the following conditions. In each case, represent your results graphically and comment on the validity of the approximation. (a) Consider a surface of either polished aluminum ( ∈ = 0.05 ) or black paint ( ∈ = 0.9 ) , whose temperature may exceed that of the surroundings ( T s u r = 25 ° C ) by 10 to 100°C. Also compare your results with values of the coefficient associated with flee convection in air ( T ∞ = T s u r ) , where h ( W/m 2 ⋅ K ) = 0.98 Δ T 1 / 3 . (b) Consider initial conditions associated with placing a workpiece at T s = 25 ° C in a large furnace whose wall temperature may be varied over the range 100 ≤ T s u r ≤ 1000 ° C . According to the surface finish or coating, its emissivity may assume values of 0.05, 0.2, and 0.9. For each emissivity, plot the relative error, ( h r − h r , a ) / h r , as a function of the furnace temperature.

An electrical cable with 20 mm in diameter and emissivity equal to 0.85 is installed inside a conduit whose inner surface and air in the its interior is at 30oC. The electrical resistivity of the cable, ρe (µΩ.m), is a function of its temperature, given by ρe=a[1+b(T-T0)], where a=0.0171 µΩ.m, b=0.00396 K-1 and T0= 25oC.
The natural convection heat transfer coefficient is expressed by the relation h=cD-0.25(T-Tꚙ)0.25where c=1.21 W/(m1.75.K1.25) and D is the cable diameter.
Electrical resistance per unit of cable length is R’e=ρe/Ac (Ac is the cross-sectional area).
