Tutorial 9

1. The document provides 5 heat transfer problems involving radiation and convection. It includes calculating heat transfer rates for baking bread in an oven, heat loss from a steam pipe, equilibrium temperature of a solar collector, temperature of a plane surface exposed to air and sky, and heat loss from a space satellite. 2. The problems involve calculating heat transfer rates and temperatures given parameters like surface temperatures, emissivities, heat transfer coefficients, radiation temperatures, and heat fluxes. 3. Radiation and natural convection heat transfer are considered in some of the problems, while others assume conduction and convection are negligible to calculate temperatures based only on radiation balance.

Heat Transfer Operations


Dr. M Al Ahmed, Eng. M Gaily

1. A loaf of bread having a surface temperature of 373 K is being baked in an


oven whose walls and air are at 477.4 K. The bread moves continuously
through the large oven on an open chain belt conveyor. The emissivity of the
bread is estimated as 0.85 and the loaf can be assumed a rectangular solid
114.3 mm high x 114.3 mm wide x 330 mm long. Calculate the radiation heat-
transfer rate to the bread, assuming that it is small compared to the oven and
neglecting natural convection heat transfer.

2. A horizontal oxidized steel pipe carrying steam and having an OD of 0.1683


m has a surface temperature of 374.9 K and is exposed to air at 297.1 K in a
large enclosure. Calculate the heat loss for 0.305 m of pipe from natural
convection plus radiation. For the steel pipe use an ε of 0.79.

3. A 1 m x 1 m square solar collector is placed on the roof of a house. The


collector receives a solar radiation flux of 800 W/m2. Assuming that the
surroundings acts as a blackbody at an effective sky temperature of 30 ºC,
calculate the equilibrium temperature of the collector (a) assuming its surface
is black and that conduction and convection are negligible and (b) assuming
that the collector is horizontal and loses heat by natural convection.

4. A plane surface having an area of 1.0 m is insulated on the bottom side and is
place on the ground exposed to the atmosphere at night. The upper surface is
exposed to air at 290 K and the convective heat-transfer coefficient from the
air to the plane is 12 W/m2. K. The plane radiates to the clear sky. The
effective radiation temperature of the sky can be assumed as 80 K. If the plane
is a black body, calculate the temperature of the plane at equilibrium.

5. A space satellite in the shape of sphere is traveling in outer space, where its
surface temperature is held at 283.2 K the sphere “sees” only outer space,
which can be considered as a black body with a temperature of 0 K. The
polished surface of the sphere has an emissivity of 0.1. Calculate the heat loss
per m2 by radiation.
