Chapter 7, Problem 7.26P
Consider a rectangular fin that is used to cool a motor-cycle engine. The tin is 0.15 m long and at a temperature of 250°C, while the motorcycle is moving at 80km/h in air at 27°C. The air is in parallel flow over both surfaces of the fin, and turbulent flow conditions may be assumed to exist throughout.
- What is the rate of heat removal per unit width of the fin?
- Generate a plot of the heat removal rate per unit width of the fin for motorcycle speeds ranging from 10 to 100 km/h.

- Please show all steps not Ai generated I need to understand the processarrow_forwardPhotovoltaic (PV) cells convert solar energy into electrical power. However, part of the absorbed solar Irradiation will be converted into heat which results in reduced PV efficiency. To achieve the best possible PV performance, the surface operating temperature of the PV cell should be kept as low as possible using the best way of cooling. Passive cooling is achieved by allowing airstream to flow over the cell. A PV cell with length 2m and width 1m was considered in an experiment to determine the PV cell cooling rate. In this experiment, the surrounding air was at 34°C with airstream of approximately 2 m/s. Thermocouples were attached to the PV cell surface which showed an average temperature of 70°C. In this situation, the cooling rate was found to be lower than required. Propose a way to improve this rate and analyze the percentage improvement in the PV cell cooling rate.arrow_forwardA fine wire of diameter D is positioned across a passage to determine flow velocity from heat transfer characteristics. Current is passed through the wire to heat it, and the heat is dissipated to the flowing fluid by convection. The resistance of the wire is determined from electrical measurements, and the temperature is known from the resistance. For a fluid of arbitrary Prandtl number, develop an expression for its velocity in terms of the difference between the temperature of the wire and the free stream temperature of the fluid. What is the velocity of an airstream, in m/s, at 1 atm and 25°C, if a wire of 0.5-mm diameter achieves a temperature of 40°C while dissipating 39 W/m?arrow_forward
