1. The hot combustion gases of a furnace are separated from the ambient air and its
surround which are at 25 ℃, by a brick wall 0.15 m thick. The brick has a thermal
conductivity of 1.2 W/m-K and a surface emissivity of 0/80. Under steady state
conditions and outer surface temperature of 100 ℃ is measured. Free convection heat
surface temperature of 100℃ is measured. Free convection heat transfer to the air
𝑊
adjoining this surface is characterized by a convection coefficient of 20 . What is
𝑚 2 −𝐾
the inner temperature in ℃?

CONVECTION AND RADIATION HEAT TRANSFER
2. A heat exchanger was installed purposely to cool 0.5 kg of gas per second. Molecular
weight is 28 and k = 1.32. The gas is cooled from 150℃ to 80℃. Water is available at the
rate of 0.30 kg/s and at a temperature of 12℃. Calculate the exit temperature of the water.

3. A copper rod whose diameter is 2 cm and length 50 cm has one end in boiling water, the
other end in a jacket cooled by flowing water which enters at 10℃. The thermal conductivity
of the copper is 0.102 kCal/m-s-℃. If 0.20 kg of water flows through the jacket in 6 min, by
how much does the temperature of the water increases?

4. Compute the amount condensate formed during 10 minutes warm-up of 150 m pipe
conveys saturated steam with enthalpy of vaporization ℎ𝑓𝑔 = 1 947.8 kJ/kg. The minimum
external temperature of pipe is 2℃ and the final temperature is 195℃. The specific heat of
pipe material is 0.6 kJ/kg-K and the specific weight is 28 kg/m.

CONVECTION AND RADIATION HEAT TRANSFER
5. A metal rod is 10 cm long has a diameter of 2 cm one end is in contact with steam at
100℃ while the other end contacts a block of ice at 0℃. The cylindrical surface of the rod is
carefully insulated so heat flows only from end to end. In a time of 20 minutes, 320 grams
of ice melts. What is the thermal conductivity of the metal?

6. At Php. 0.25 per kW-hr, how much will it cost to maintain a temperature of 96℉ for 24
hours in a box 2 ft square on each side if the outside temperature is 72℉ and the over-all
heat transfer coefficient for the box is 0.10 BTU/hr-ft 2 − ℉?

7. The mass of copper calorimeter is 0.28 kg and it contains 0.4 kg of water at 15℃. Taking
the specific heat of copper as 0.39 kJ/kg-K, calculate the heat required to raise the
temperature to 20℃.
