Question

A can of engine oil with a length of 150 mm and a diameter of 100 mm is placed vertically in the trunk of a car. On a hot summer day, the temperature in the trunk is 43°C. If the surface temperature of the can is 17°C, determine heat transfer rate from the can surface. Neglect the heat transfer from the ends of the can

Answer 1

Answer:

6.6516 W

Explanation:

The film temperature is given as the average of the two temperatures, hence (43 + 17)/2 = 30°C.
