Chapter 10, Problem 10.32P

Consider a horizontal. D = 1 -mm-diameter platinum wire suspended in saturated water at atmospheric pressure. The wire is heated by an electrical current. Determine the heat flux from the wire at the instant when the surface of the wire reaches its melting point. Determine the corresponding centerline temperature of the wire. Due to oxidation at very high temperature, the wire emissivity is ε = 0.80 when it burns out. The water vapor properties at the film temperature of 1209K are ρ v = 0.189 kg/m 3 , c p , υ = 2404 J/kg K , v υ = 231 × 10 6 m 2 /s , k υ = 0.113 W/m K .

In boiling water at 1 atm pressure outside a stainless-steel tube with a surface temperature of 410F, the heat-transfer coefficient h in the absence of radiation is 32 Btu/h*ft^2*F. If the emissivity of the stainless steel is 0.8, will radiation significantly augment the rate of boiling (e.g., by more than 5 percent)? Assume that the vapor film is transparent to radiation and the boiling liquid is opaque.
Explain why heat loss from a cooking pan is reduced by fitting it with a lid. The lid prevents hot air from rising, hence reducing heat loss due to convection. It also reduces heat lost by evaporation (if a liquid is present in the pot).
Water is boiled at atmospheric pressure in a square (0.2 m x 0.2 m) pan placed on top of a heating unit. Pan is made of polished copper and the surface tension of liquid-vapor interaction is 0.06 N/m. The coefficient Ccr is 0.15. What should be the maximum bottom surface temperature of the pan for safe operation?   Properties of water:    ρl=960 kg/m3  ρv=0.6 kg/m3  μl=0.3x10-3 kg/ms cpl=4200 J/kgK    Prl=2  hfg=2257x103 J/kg
