    PROBLEM 1.17 KNOWN: Length, diameter and calibration of a hot wire anemometer. Temperature of air stream.

    Current, voltage drop and surface temperature of wire for a particular application. FIND: Air velocity SCHEMATIC:

    ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Steady-state conditions, (2) Negligible heat transfer from the wire by natural convection or radiation. ANALYSIS: If all of the electric energy is transferred by convection to the air, the following equality must be satisfied

    Pelec = EI = hA ( Ts T )
    where A = DL = ( 0.0005m 0.02m ) = 3.14 105 m 2 . Hence, h= EI 5V 0.1A = = 318 W/m 2 K A ( Ts T ) 3.14 105m 2 50 C

    V = 6.25 105 h 2 = 6.25 105 318 W/m2 K

    = 6.3 m/s

    <

    COMMENTS: The convection coefficient is sufficiently large to render buoyancy (natural convection) and radiation effects negligible.
