Consider a rectangular fin that is used to cool a motorcycle engine. The fin is 0.15m long and at a temperature of 250C, while t

he motorcycle is moving at 80 km/h in air at 27 C. The air is in parallel flow over both surfaces of the fin, and turbulent flow conditions may be assumed to exist throughout. What is the rate of heat removal per unit width of the fin?

Answer:

q' = 5826 W/m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The length of the rectangular fin, L = 0.15 m

- The surface temperature of fin, Ts = 250°C

- The free stream velocity of air, U = 80 km/h

- The temperature of air, Ta = 27°C

- Parallel flow over both surface of the fin, assuming turbulent conditions through out.

Find:-

What is the rate of heat removal per unit width of the fin?

Solution:-

- Assume steady state conditions, Negligible radiation and flow conditions to be turbulent.

- From Table A-4, evaluate air properties (T = 412 K, P = 1 atm ):

    Dynamic viscosity , v = 27.85 * 10^-6 m^2/s  

    Thermal conductivity, k = 0.0346 W / m.K

    Prandlt number Pr = 0.69

- Compute the Nusselt Number (Nu) for the - turbulent conditions - the appropriate relation is as follows:

                          Nu = 0.037*Re_L^\frac{4}{5} * Pr^\frac{1}{3}

Where,    Re_L: The average Reynolds number for the entire length of fin:

                          Re_L = \frac{U*L}{v} \\\\Re_L = \frac{80*\frac{1000}{3600} * 0.15}{27.85*10^-^6} \\\\Re_L = 119688.80909

Therefore,

                         Nu = 0.037*(119688.80909)^\frac{4}{5} * 0.69^\frac{1}{3}\\\\Nu = 378

- The convection coefficient (h) can now be determined from:

                          h = \frac{k*Nu}{L} \\\\h = \frac{0.0346*378}{0.15} \\\\h = 87 \frac{W}{m^2K}

- The rate of heat loss q' per unit width can be determined from convection heat transfer relation, Remember to multiply by (x2) because the flow of air persists on both side of the fin:

                          q' = 2*[h*L*(T_s - T_a)]\\\\q' = 2*[87*0.15*(250 - 27)]\\\\q' = 5826\frac{W}{m}

- The rate of heat loss per unit width from the rectangular fin is q' = 5826 W/m

- The heat loss per unit width (q') due to radiation:

                  q' = 2*a*T_s^4*L

Where, a: Stefan boltzman constant = 5.67*10^-8

                  q' = 2*5.67*10^-^8*(523)^4*0.15\\\\q' = 1273 \frac{W}{m}

- We see that radiation loss is not negligible, it account for 20% of the heat loss due to convection. Since the emissivity (e) of the fin has not been given. So, in the context of the given data this value is omitted from calculations.

3. If nothing can ever be at absolute zero, why does the concept exist?
Tanzania [10]

The absolute zero in temperature refers to the minimal possible temperature. It is the temperature at which the molecules of a system stop moving, so it is a really useful reference point.

<h3>Why absolute zero can't be reached?</h3>

It would mean that we need to remove all the energy from a system, but to do this we need to interact with the system in some way, and by interacting with it we give it "some" energy.

Actually, from a quantum mechanical point of view, the absolute zero has a residual energy (so it is not actually zero) and it is called the "zero point". This happens because it must meet <u>Heisenberg's uncertainty principle</u>.

So yes, the absolute zero can't be reached, but there are really good approximations (At the moment there is a difference of about 150 nanokelvins between the absolute zero and the smallest temperature reached). Also, there are a lot of investigations near the absolute zero, like people that try to reach it or people that just need to work with really low temperatures, like in type I superconductors.

So, concluding, why does the concept exist?

  • Because it is a reference point.
  • It is the theoretical temperature at which the molecules stop moving, defining this as the <u>minimum possible temperature.</u>
