Chapter 13, Problem 13.48P

Consider the attic of a home located in a hot climate. The floor of the attic is characterized by a width of L 1 = 10 m while the roof makes an angle of θ = 30 ° from the horizontal direction, as shown in the schematic. The homeowner wishes to reduce the heat load to the home by adhering bright aluminum foil ( ε f = 0.07 ) onto the surfaces of the attic space. Prior to installation of the foil, the surfaces are of emissivity ε o = 0.85 .

A wall in a house contains a single window. The window consists of a single pane of glass whose area is 0.13 m2 and whose thickness is 8 mm. Treat the wall as a slab of the insulating material Styrofoam whose area and thickness are 19 m2 and 0.10 m, respectively. Heat is lost via conduction through the wall and the window. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is the same for the wall and the window. Of the total heat lost by the wall and the window, what is the percentage lost by the window?

As a researcher in the field of heat transfer, how will you distinguish between radiation by black body and a real body? Explain briefly Point out and briefly explain the various factors affect the thermal conductivity of a material. What is the analogical reason between heat transfer by conduction and flow of electricity through ohmic resistance? Use a composite wall of a building to illustrate the concept. A composite slab with three layers of thermal conductivities k1, k2, k3 and thickness t1, t2, t3 respectively, are placed in a close contact. Derive an expression from the first principle for the heat flow through the composite slab per unit surface area in terms of the overall temperature difference across the slab. Based upon the reradiating properties of absorptivity, reflectivity and transmissivity, how would you distinguish between the following:Black body, white body, transparent body and opaque body. The nature of surfaces affects the absorption and the reflection of…

Question 3: An electronic device with a temperature of 84°C (shown in golden colour) is embedded inside a composite plastic tube which is equipped with three fins (shown in blue) to enhance the convective heat transfer with the surrounding air. The composite tube is held horizontally. The temperature drop along the fins can be ignored due to their high thermal conductivity. The outer ring of the fins (shown in brown) is insulated. The ambient temperature is 20°C. 3d. Calculate the heat transfer coefficients across the cylinder 3e. Calculate the heat transfer coefficients across the fins by assuming fins as vertical planes 31. Calculate the heat loss across the system Aluminium fins Diameter = 30 cm Insulated ring Thickness = 5 mm Composite tube Thickness = 5 mm Thermal conductivity = 25 W/mk Tube is held horizontally. Air 20°C Hot electronic device Temperature = 84°C Diameter = 10 cm Length = 100 cm %3D
