Introduction to Heat Transfer
- Recent studies show that the major energy consumption in Fijian villages is wood which is used for cooking on open fires. Typical consumption of wood is 1 kg/person/day. (a) Estimate the heat energy required to boil a 2 litre pot full of water. Assuming this to be the cooking requirement of each person, compare this with the heat content of the wood, and thus estimate the thermal efficiency of the open fire. (b) How much timber has to be felled each year to cook for a village of 200 people ? Assuming systematic replanting, what area of crop must the village therefore set aside for fuel use if it is not to make a net deforestation ?arrow_forwardAn underwater sonar that maps the ocean bathymetry is encapsulated in a sphere with a diameter of 85 mm. During operation, the sonar generates heat at a rate of 300W. What is the sonar surface temperature when it’s located in a water column where the temperature is 15o C and the water current is 1 m/sec? The sonar was pulled out of the water without turning it off, thus, it was still working. The air temperature was 15o C and the air speed was 3 m/sec. What was the sonar surface temperature? Was there any reason for concern?arrow_forwardVacuum furnaces are used in manufacturing for metal heating in brazing and sintering processes, as well as for heat treatment of steel alloys. The vacuum, and absence of air/oxygen, facilitates a low contamination process and prevents detrimental surface oxidisation. Heat is often provided in these furnaces by electrical heating elements, and their thermal design is critical to the effective operation of the furnace. In one such case, this element is modelled as a long, cylindrical electrically heated rod, 20 mm in diameter installed in a vacuum furnace as shown. The surface of the heating rod has an emissivity of 0.9 and is maintained at 1000 K, while the interior walls of the furnace are black and are at 800 K. Calculate the net rate at which heat is lost from the rod per unit length.arrow_forward
- A brass plate has a circular hole whose diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of an aluminum ball. Ifthe ball and the plate are always kept at the same temperature,(a) should the temperature of the system be increased or decreasedin order for the ball to fit through the hole? (b) Choose the bestexplanation from among the following:I. The aluminum ball changes its diameter more with temperature than the brass plate, and therefore the temperatureshould be decreased.II. Changing the temperature won’t change the fact that the ballis larger than the hole.III. Heating the brass plate makes its hole larger, and that willallow the ball to pass through.arrow_forwardcan you please work this out step by step please and do everythingarrow_forwardHi, kindly help me with this and show the complete solution.

The ball diameter is 12.5 mm, and the convection coefficient associated with the oil bath is 1000 W/m².K. (a) If quenching is to occur until the surface temperature of the balls reaches 100°C, how long, in s, must the balls be kept in the oil? What is the center temperature, in °C, at the conclusion of the cooling period? (b) If 10,000 balls are to be quenched per hour, what is the rate at which energy must be removed, in kW, by the oil bath cooling system in order to maintain its temperature at 40°C? Evaluate the properties of the stainless steel (AISI 304) at 500 K.
