Heat Transfer Tutorial#2

This document contains 10 questions related to heat transfer via convection, natural convection, condensation, and boiling. The questions involve calculating heat transfer rates, temperatures, and condensation rates for scenarios like a heated wall, insulated pipe, flowing water in a pipe, heated air in a tube, airflow over a flat plate, heat loss from a fin, heat transfer along a copper rod, radiation heating of a metal surface, boiling on a heated plate submerged in water, and condensation on a heated plate exposed to steam.

Heat Transfer (UCH402)

Tutorial # 2

Convection
Q.1 One side of a plane wall is maintained at 100◦C, while the other side is exposed to a
convection environment having T =10°C and h =10 W/m2°C. The wall has k =1.6W/m◦C and is
40 cm thick. Calculate the heat-transfer rate through the wall.

Q.2 A 50-cm-diameter pipeline in the Arctic carries hot oil at 30◦C and is exposed to a
surrounding temperature of −20◦C. A special powder insulation 5 cm thick surrounds the pipe and
has a thermal conductivity of 7 W/m°C. The convection heat-transfer coefficient on the outside of
the pipe is 9 W/m2◦C. Estimate the energy loss from the pipe per meter of length.

Q.3 Water flows through a 2.5 cm ID pipe 1.5 m long at a rate of 1.0 kg/s. The pressure drop is 7
kPa through the 1.5 m length. The pipe wall temperature is maintained at a constant temperature
of 50°C by a condensing vapour, and the inlet water temperature is 20°C. Estimate the exit water
temperature.

Q.4 Air at 2 atm and 200°C is heated as it flows through a tube with a diameter of 1 in (2.54 cm)
at a velocity of 10 m/s. Calculate the heat transfer per unit length of tube if a constant-heat-flux
condition is maintained at the wall and the wall temperature is 20°C above the air temperature, all
along the length of the tube. How much would the bulk temperature increase over a 3 m length of
the tube?

Q.5 Air at 27°C and 1 atm flows over a flat plate at a speed of 2 m/s. Calculate the boundary layer
thickness at distances of 20 cm from the leading edge of the plate. The viscosity of air at 27°C is
1.85×10−5 kg/m-s. Assume unit depth in the z direction. Assume that the plate is heated over its
entire length to a temperature of 60°C. Calculate the heat transferred in 20 cm of the plate.

Q.6 An aluminium fin [k = 200 W/m°C] 3.0 mm thick and 7.5 cm long protrudes from a wall. The
base is maintained at 300°C and the ambient temperature is 50°C with h =10 W/m2 °C. Calculate
the heat loss from the fin per unit depth of material.

Q.7 One end of a copper rod [k = 386 W/m.°C] 30 cm long is firmly connected to a wall that is
maintained at 200°C. The other end is firmly connected to a wall that is maintained at 93°C. Air is
blown across the rod so that a heat-transfer coefficient of 17 W/m2 °C is maintained. The diameter
of the rod is 12.5 mm. The temperature of the air is 38°C. What is the net heat lost to the air in
watts?
Natural convection, Condensation and Boiling
Q.8 In a plant location near a furnace, a net radiant energy flux of 800 W/m2 is incident on a
vertical metal surface 3.5 m high and 2 m wide. The metal is insulated on the back side and
painted black so that all incoming radiation is lost by free convection to surrounding air at 30°C.
What average temperature will be attained by the plate?

Q.9 A heated brass plate is submerged in a container of water at atmospheric pressure. The plate
temperature is 242°F. Calculate the heat transfer per unit area of the plate.

Q.10 A vertical plate 30 cm wide and 1.2 m high is maintained at 80ºC and exposed to saturated
steam at 1 atm. Calculate the heat transfer and the total mass of steam condensed per hour.
