Chapter 1, Problem 133P

It is well known that wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the wind-chill effect that is due to the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The wind-chill effect is usually expressed in terms of the wind-chill temperature (WCT), which is the apparent temperature felt by exposed skin. For an outdoor air temperature of 0 o C, for example, the wind-chill temperature is 5 o C with 20 km/h winds and 9 o C with 60 km/h winds. That is, a person exposed to 0 o C windy air at 20 km/h will feel as cold as a person exposed to 5 o C calm air (air motion under 5 km/h).

For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the side surface at an average temperature of 34 o C . and For a convection heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2. K, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at 20 o C . and What would your answer be if the convection heat transfer coefficient is increased to 30 W/m2. K as a result of winds? What is the wind-chill temperature in this case?

On a summer day, in Phoenix, Arizona, the inside room temperature is maintained at 20° C while the outdoor air temperature is a sizzling 43.3° C . What is the outdoor-indoor temperature difference in (a) degrees Celsius, and (b) kelvins? Is a 1° temperature difference in Celsius equal to a 1° temperature difference in kelvins If so, why?
An air-conditioned classroom in Texas is maintained at 72ºF in the summer. The students attend classes in shorts, sandals, and tee shirts and are quite comfortable. In the same classroom during the winter, the same students wear wool slacks, long-sleeve shirts, and sweaters, and are equally comfortable with the room temperature maintained at 75ºF. Assuming that humidity is not a factor, explain this apparent anomaly in "temperature comfort."
THERMODYNAMICS Water enters the tube of a cold plate at 70 degrees fahrenheit with an average velocity of 53 feet per minute and exits at 122 degrees fahrenheit. The tubes have a 0.25 in diameter. Determine the amount of heat created by the electronic devices put on the cold plate assuming the 12 percent of the heat generated is lost from the components to the surroundings through convection and radiation and the remaining 88 percent is removed by the cooling water.
