Discuss your assumptions.arrow_forward1.13 If the outer air temperature in Problem is –2°C, calculate the convection heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface of the window and the air, assuming radiation is negligible.arrow_forwardA tube pipe is heated to a temperature of 150°C with an outside diameter of 12cm and it’s enclosed in a large room of 20°C. Calculate the radiant heat loss per unit length, if the surface emissivity is 0.65.arrow_forward

The emissivity of the heater is ε = 0.85. a) If the heater is horizontally positioned in a large tank of water at 20°C, estimate its surface temperature. b) If the heater is accidentally operated in air at 20°C, estimate the surface temperature. Hint: Radiation heat transfer can be neglected in liquids, but not in gases like air.arrow_forwardA horizontal steam pipe with an outside diameter of 60.0 mm passes through a large room whose walls are at a temperature of 298 K. The outer surface of the pipe wall has a surface temperature of 443 K and an emissivity of 0.8. The air temperature in the room is 303 K.

The curved top surface, whose emissivity is 0.75, has built-in radiant heaters that provide a uniform heat flux of 8000 W/m² to the furnace space.

- In order to determine the latent cooling load produced, estimate the rate at which water is evaporated from an indoor swimming pool. The pool area is maintained at 24 C dry bulb and 17 C wet bulb while the pool water has a temperature of 27 C. The pool has dimensions of 100 × 50 m.

The interior surface is exposed to the air and walls of a room, which are each at 18°C. Under cold ambient conditions for which a thin layer of frost has formed on the inner surface, what is the heat loss through the window? As with most natural convection problems, radiation heat transfer may NOT be neglected. Use Trad =EσA (T-T4) with & = 0.90.arrow_forwardA vertical, double-pane window(square), which is 1 m on a side and has a 25-mm gap filled with atmospheric air, separates quiescent room air at T; = 20 °C from quiescent ambient air at To = -20 °C.
