Chapter 2, Problem 2.49P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given data for system temperature versus time is to be fit into a straight-line using the method of least squares. Also, the formula for T(t) is to be derived and converted to t(T).

Concept introduction:

Method of least squares:

If (xi,yi) are the points plotted for (i=1,2,,n), then Ri is the residual for each point corresponding to i.

To fir the data into the straight-line plot, the value of ϕ(a,b) should be minimized.

ϕ(a,b)=i=1nRi2=i=1n(yiaxib)2

Perform differentiation on equation (1) to calculate the values of a and b, thus values defined are:

Sx=1ni=1nxiSxx=1ni=1nxi2Sy=1ni=1nyiSxy=1ni=1nxiyi ......... (1)

Now, use these values to calculate a and b as:

a=SxySxSySxx(Sx)2 ......... (2)

And,

b=SxxSySxySxSxx(Sx)2 ......... (3)

The straight-line that fits into the given data is now,

y=ax+b

With a and b being substituted as calculated from equations (2) and (3).

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The given data is to be plotted on the rectangular axes and the expression for T(t) is to be determined. Also, the value of R2 is to be checked, if it is closer to 1.

Concept introduction:

Given an equation, y=ax+b, it represents a straight-line equation for the expression y(x).

Here, a is the slope of the line and b is the y- intercept.

According to the method of least square used to fit data into a straight-line, R2 is the square of the residual. For the best fit, R2 should be closer to 1.

Steam at atmospheric pressure (Tsat = 100oC, hfg = 2.257×106 J/kg) is in contact with a horizontal tube through which a cooling fluid is circulated. The tube has 0.0334 m outside diameter, 1 m length, and an outside-surface temperature that is maintained at 60oC. Determine the rate of heat that the cooling fluid must remove and the condensation rate. For water at average temperature, ρ L = 974 kg/m3, k = 0.668 W/m·K, ρ v = 0.516 kg/m3, ν L = 0.364×10-6m2/s. g =9.81 m/s2.
Surface A1 of the system shown in the figure below is a graybody with emissivity of 0.56 andsurface A2 is a blackbody.Can you determine view factors F1-2 and F2-1. And draw an analogous electrical circuit based on Ohm’s law and determine the net radiation heat transfer from surface A1 to surface A2 if T1 = 500oC and T2 = 27oC. For the graybody, α = ε. Stefan-Boltzmann constant, σ = 5.676 × 10-8 W/m2·K4.
An aluminum saucepan has a handle that is fixed to its wall. The handle itself is made of low carbon steel, and will have a plastic grip attached to it that is comfortable to grasp. Before selecting a plastic, it is necessary to have information on the temperature of the carbon steel handle. The carbon steel handle can be considered as a rod 11 mm in diameter and 45 mm long. When being used over a stove burner, the ambient temperature T∞ is 30 oC, and the temperature at the base of the handle reaches T0 = 100 oC. The convective heat transfer coefficient h is 8 W/m2·K and k = 43 W/m·K for low carbon steel. Can you derive the differential equation for the temperature of handle with x as a spatial variable and determine the temperature of handle at the position of 40 mm from the base. Using the general solution attached.   Also Can you determine the total heat transfer rate (q) from the handle using the above temperature profile equation and determine the total heat transfer rate (q) from…
