Heat Transfer Processes and Equipment


Convective Heat Transfer Part 2

1. A 6-m long strip of sheet metal is being transported on a conveyor at a velocity of 5 m/s,
while the coating on the upper surface is being cured by infrared lamps. The coating on
the upper surface of the metal strip has an absorptivity of 0.6 and an emissivity of 0.7,
while the surrounding ambient air temperature is 25°C. Convection heat transfer occurs on
both upper and lower surfaces of the sheet metal. Determine the heat transfer coefficient
of the sheet metal. Evaluate the properties of air at 80°C.
[9.85 W/m2.K]

2. Engine oil at 80°C flows over a 6-m-long flat plate whose temperature is 30°C with a
velocity of 3 m/s. Determine the rate of heat transfer over the entire plate per unit width.
[20.5 kW]

3. Consider a hot automotive engine, which can be approximated as a 0.5-m-high, 0.40-m-


wide, and 0.8-m-long rectangular block. The bottom surface of the block is at a
temperature of 80°C and has an emissivity of 0.95. The ambient air is at 20°C, and the
road surface is at 25°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the bottom surface of the
engine block by convection and radiation as the car travels at a velocity of 80 km/h.
Assume the flow to be turbulent over the entire surface because of the constant agitation
of the engine block.

4. A1.8-m-diameter spherical tank of negligible thickness contains iced water at 0ºC. Air at
25ºC flows over the tank with a velocity of 7 m/s. Determine the rate of heat transfer to
the tank and the rate at which ice melts. The heat of fusion of water at 0ºC is 333.7 Kj/kg.
[7 × 10-3 kg/s]

5. Air is to be heated by passing it over a bank of 3-m-long tubes inside which steam is
condensing at 100ºC. Air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 20ºC and 1
atm with a mean velocity of 5.2 m/s. The outer diameter of the tubes is 1.6 cm, and the
tubes are arranged staggered with longitudinal and transverse pitches of SL = ST = 4 cm.
There are 20 rows in the flow direction with 10 tubes in each row. Determine the rate of
heat transfer.
[74,830 W]
6. Water at 15ºC is to be heated to 65ºC by passing it over a bundle of 4-m-long 1-cm-
diameter resistance heater rods maintained at 90ºC. Water approaches the heater rod
bundle in normal direction at a mean velocity of 0.8 m/s. The rods arc arranged in-line
with longitudinal and transverse pitches of SL = 4 cm and ST = 3 cm. Determine the number
of tube rows NL in the flow direction needed to achieve the indicated temperature rise.
