Solved Problems in Transport Processes

The document describes two problems involving heat transfer calculations. The first problem involves calculating the radiation heat transfer rate from a loaf of bread baking in an oven. Given parameters like temperatures and dimensions, the radiation heat transfer rate is calculated to be 277.9869 W. The second problem involves calculating the total heat loss from a horizontal steel pipe carrying steam that is exposed to air. Both natural convection and radiation heat transfer are considered. Using equations and given parameters like temperatures, diameters and emissivities, the natural convection heat transfer is calculated to be 76.78295945 W, radiation heat transfer is 86.41394471 W, and total heat loss is 163.1969042 W.

Problem 4.

10-2
Geankoplis, Transport Processes and Unit Operations

A loaf of bread having a surface temperature of 373 K is being baked in an oven


whose walls and air are at 477.4 K. The bread moves continuously through the
large oven on an open chain belt conveyor. The emissivity of the bread is
estimated as 0.85 and the loaf can be assumed a rectangular solid 114.3 mm
high x 114.3 mm wide x 330 mm long. Calculate the radiation heat-transfer rate
to the bread, assuming that it is small compared to the oven and neglecting
natural convection heat transfer.

Given: Tb=373 K
Ts=477.4 K
e=0.85
h=114.3 mm
w=114.3 mm
l=330 mm

Required: Q

Solution: Q= e σ A [Ts4 – Tb4]

Where e, emissivity
σ, Stefan-Boltzmann constant
A, surface area
Ts, temperature of surrounding
Tb, temperature of body considered

A in this problem is the surface area of a rectangular solid.


A=
A={ [ ]}mm2( )2
A=0.17700498 m2

Q = (0.85) (5.67x10-8 ) (0.17700498 m2) [(477.4K)4 – (373K)4]


Q = 277.9869 W
Problem 4.10-3
Geankoplis, Transport Processes and Unit Operations

A horizontal oxidized steel pipe carrying steam and having an OD of 0.1683 m


has a surface temperature of 374.9 K and is exposed to air at 297.1 K in a large
enclosure. Calculate the heat loss for 0.305 m of pipe from natural convection
plus radiation. For the steel pipe use an ε of 0.79.

Given: OD = 0.1683 m
Tb = 374.9 K
Ts = 297.1 K
L = 0.305 m
e = 0.79

Required: Heat loss due to natural convection and radiation

Solution: Qt = Qnc + Qr

Where Qt, total heat


Qnc, heat in convection
Qr, heat in radiation

Qnc = hA(Tb-Ts)

h=6.12 W/m-K obtained from natural convection correlation for h

Qnc = 6.12 (374.9-297.1)K


Qnc = 76.78295945 W

Qr = e σ A [Ts4 – Tb4]
Qr = 0.79 (5.67x10-8 ) [(374.9K)4 – (297.1K)4]
Qr = 86.41394471 W

Qt = 76.78295945 W + 86.41394471 W
Qt = 163.1969042 W
