Lecture 4 Numericals On Heat Transfer Mechanisms

This document contains 6 numerical problems related to heat transfer mechanisms presented in a lecture. The first problem involves calculating the rate of heat loss through the roof of a home and the cost of air conditioning. The second and third problems involve determining convection heat transfer coefficients. The fourth problem involves calculating the rate of radiation heat transfer between a person and surrounding surfaces. The fifth problem involves calculating the total rate of heat transfer from a person through convection and radiation. Contact information is provided at the end.

Numerical -I

• The roof of an electrically air conditioned home is 6 m long, 8 m wide


and 0.25 m thick and is made of a flat layer of concrete whose thermal
conductivity is k = 0.8W/moC . The temperature of the inner and
outer surfaces of the roof at one of the night were measured to be
15oC and 4oC respectively for a period of 10 hours.
Determine the followings.
- Rate of heat loss through the roof considering heat transfer is only
through conduction
- Cost of air conditioning, if the electricity tariff per unit is Rs. 10.25.

Numerical -III
• A 2 m long, 0.3 cm diameter electrical wire extends across a room at
15oC . Heat is generated in the wire as a result of resistance heating
and the surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 152oC in
steady operation. Also, the voltage drop and electric current through
the wire are measured to be 60 V and 1.5 A, respectively.
Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation, determine the
convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between
the outer surface of wire and the air in the room.

• Consider a person standing in a room
maintained at 22oC at all times. The inner
surfaces of the walls, floors and the ceiling of
the house are observed to be at an average
temperature of 10oC in winter and 25oC in
summer. Determine the rate of radiation
heat transfer between this person and the
surrounding surface if the exposed surface
area and the average outer surface
temperature of the person are 1.4 m2 and
30oC, respectively. (Consider emissivity of
human body to be 0.95)

• Consider a person standing in a breezy
room at 20 . Determine the total rate
of heat transfer from this person if
the exposed surface area and the
average outer surface temperature of
the person are 1.6 m2 and 29 ,
respectively, and the convection heat
transfer coefficient is 6 W/m2.
