Hot air flows from a furnace through a 0.15-m-diameter, thin-walled steel duct with a velocity of 3 m/s. The duct passes through the crawlspace of a house, and its uninsulated exterior surface is exposed to quiescent air and surroundings at 0°C.

The cylinder is heated internally by an electrical heater and is subjected to a cross flow of air in a low-speed wind tunnel. Under a specific set of operating conditions for which the upstream air velocity and temperature were maintained at V = 10 m/s and 26.2°C, respectively, the heater power dissipation was measured to be P = 46 W, while the average cylinder surface temperature was determined to be T, = 128.4°C. It is estimated that 15% of the power dissipation is lost through the cumulative effect of surface radiation and conduction through the endpieces.
