Chapter 1, Problem 1.45P

An aluminum plate 4 mm thick is mounted in a horizontal position, and its bottom surface is well insulated. A special, thin coating is applied to the top surface such that it absorbs 80 % of any incident solar radiation, while having an emissivity of 0.25. The density ρ and specific heat c of aluminum are known to be 2700 kg/m 3 and 900 J/kg K, respectively.

  1. Consider conditions for which the plate is at a temperature of 25 ° C and its top surface is suddenly exposed to ambient air at T = 20 ° C and to solar radiation that provides an incident flux of 900 W/m 2 . The convection heat transfer coefficient between the surface and the air is h = 20 W/m 2 K . What is the initial rate of change of the plate temperature?
  2. What will be the equilibrium temperature of the plate when steady-state conditions are reached?
  3. The surface radiative properties depend on the specific nature of the applied coating. Compute and plot the steady-state temperature as a function of the emissivity for 0.05 ε 1 , with all other conditions remaining as prescribed. Repeat your calculations for values of as α S = 0.5 and 1.0, and plot the results with those obtained for α S = 0.8. If the intent is to maximize the plate temperature, what is the most desirable combination of the plate emissivity and its absorptivity to solar radiation?

A horizontal steam pipe with an outside diameter of 60.0 mm passes through a large room whose walls are at a temperature of 298 K. The outer surface of the pipe wall has a surface temperature of 443 K and an emissivity of 0.8. The air temperature in the room is 303 K. Calculate the rate of heat loss per unit length of the pipe by radiation and natural convection.
The glass surfaces are polished, having an emissivity of 0.095. The diameters of the inner and outer cylinders are 9 cm and 11 cm respectively and their length is 20 cm. The temperature of the inner and outer cylinders is 92oC and 31oC respectively.  Calculate the heat transfer coefficient due to radiation through the cylindrical surface from the inner to the outer cylinder.
2 inch OD during a visit to a plastic sheet factory 60 m long section of a horizontal steam pipe passes from one end to the other without insulation is observed. While the temperature of the ambient air and its surfaces is 20 °C, the temperature measurements at several points are the average of the exposed surfaces of the steam pipe. indicates that the temperature is 160 °C. It is seen that the outer surface of the pipe is oxidized and The emissivity can be taken as 0.59. According to this; a) Calculate the heat loss in the steam pipe. b) The steam used is produced in a gas furnace operating with an efficiency of 59%. Factory 105500 It pays $1.10 per kJ of natural gas. If it is assumed that the factory works all year (365 days), for this facility Calculate the annual cost of heat losses in the steam pipe.
