Answer:
h = 375 KW/m^2K
Explanation:
Given:
Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm
steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK
Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C
Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C
Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:
E_in = E_out
q"_cond = q"_conv
Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2
q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)
=15KW/m^2
Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:
q"_conv = h * ( T_∞ - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞ - T_s )
h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K
Answer:
9500 kJ; 9000 Btu
Explanation:
Data:
m = 100 lb
T₁ = 25 °C
T₂ = 75 °C
Calculations:
1. Energy in kilojoules
ΔT = 75 °C - 25 °C = 50 °C = 50 K
2. Energy in British thermal units
