Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer
- 1.67 In beauty salons and in homes, a ubiquitous device is the hairdryer. The front end of a typical hairdryer is idealized as a thin-walled cylindrical duct with a 6-cm diameter with a fan at the inlet that blows air over an electric heating coil as schematically shown in the figure. The design of this appliance requires two power settings, with which the air blown over the electric heating coil is heated from the ambient temperature of to an outlet temperature of and with exit air velocities of 1.0 m/s and 1.5 m/s. Estimate the electric power required for the heating coil to meet these conditions, assuming that heat loss from the outside of the dryer duct is neglected.arrow_forward3.16 A large, 2.54-cm.-thick copper plate is placed between two air streams. The heat transfer coefficient on one side is and on the other side is . If the temperature of both streams is suddenly changed from 38°C to 93°C, determine how long it takes for the copper plate to reach a temperature of 82°C.arrow_forward1 - A square chip, with side w = 5 mm, operates under isothermal conditions.The chip is positioned on a substrate so that its side and bottom surfaces are thermally insulated, while its top surface is exposed to theflow of a refrigerant at T∞ = 15°C. From reliability considerations, the chip temperature cannot exceed T = 85°C. The refrigerant being air, with a convection heat transfer coefficientcorresponding h = 200 W/(m2K), what is the maximum allowable power for the chip? Since the coolant is a dielectric liquid for which h = 3000 W/(m²K), what is the maximum allowed power?arrow_forward

The outer surface is exposed to an airflow (∞T∞=25°C) that maintains a convection coefficient of h=25 W/m2·K and to large surroundings for which ∞Tsur=T∞=25°C. The surface emissivity of calcium silicate is approximately 0.8.arrow_forwardHow long should it take to boil an egg? Model the egg as a sphere with radius of 2.3 cm that has properties similar to water with a density of = 1000 kg/m3 and thermal conductivity of k = 0.606 Watts/(mC) and specific heat of c = 4182 J/(kg C). Suppose that an egg is fully cooked when the temperature at the center reaches 70 C. Initially the egg is taken out of the fridge at 4 C and placed in the boiling water at 100 C. Since the egg shell is very thin assume that it quickly reaches a temperature of 100 C. The protein in the egg effectively immobilizes the water so the heat conduction is purely conduction (no convection). Plot the temperature of the egg over time and use the data tooltip in MATLAB to make your conclusion on the time it takes to cook the egg in minutes.arrow_forwardSteel balls 12 mm in diameter are annealed by heating to 1200 K and then slowly cooling to 350 K in an air environment for which T∞ = 325 K and h = 20 W/m².K.

This process is called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating heat transfer between a human body and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin and fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, Ti = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L = 2 mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3 Wm ⋅ K. The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m2 and is dressed in a bathing suit.
