ENER 411: Heat and Mass Transfer

Department of Mechanical, Energy and Industrial Engineering


Botswana International University of Science and Technology

1. Consider a hemispherical furnace of diameter D = 5 m with a flat base. The dome of the
furnace is black, and the base has an emissivity of 0.7. The base and the dome of the furnace
are maintained at uniform temperatures of 400 and 1000 K, respectively. Determine the net
rate of radiation heat transfer from the dome to the base surface during steady operation.
759 kW.

2. Two very long concentric cylinders of diameters D1 = 0.35 m and D2 = 0.5 m are maintained
at uniform temperatures of T1 = 950 K and T2 = 500 K and have emissivities  = 1 and
 = 0.55, respectively. Determine the net rate of radiation heat transfer between the two
cylinders per unit length of the cylinders. 29.81 kW
3. Consider two rectangular surfaces perpendicular
to each other with a common edge which is 1.6 m
long as shown in Fig. 1. The horizontal surface is
0.8 m wide and the vertical surface is 1.2 m high.
The horizontal surface has an emissivity of 0.75
and is maintained at 400K. The vertical surface is
black and is maintained at 550 K. The back sides
of the surfaces are insulated. The surrounding sur-
faces are at 290 K, and can be considered to have
an emissivity of 0.85. Determine the net rate of Figure 1: Figure for question 3
radiation heat transfers between the two surfaces,
and between the horizontal surface and the surroundings. 1245 W, 725 W
4. Consider a long semi-cylindrical duct of diameter 1.0 m. Heat is supplied from the base
surface, which is black, at a rate of 1200 W/m2 , while the side surface with an emissivity
of 0.4 are is maintained at 650 K. Neglecting the end effects, determine the temperature of
the base surface. 684.8 K

5. A thin aluminum sheet with on both sides is placed between two very large parallel plates,
which are maintained at uniform temperatures T1 = 900 K and T2 = 650 K and have
emissivities  = 0.51 and V = 0.80, respectively. Determine the net rate of radiation heat
transfer between the two plates per unit surface area of the plates and compare the result
with that without the shield. 1857 W/m2 , 12,035 W/m2 .
6. A furnace is shaped like a long equilateral triangu-
lar duct, as shown in Figuge 2. The width of each
side is 1 m. The base surface has an emissivity of
0.7 and is maintained at a uniform temperature
of 600 K. The heated left-side surface closely ap-
proximates a blackbody at 1000 K. The right-side
surface is well insulated. Determine the rate at
which heat must be supplied to the heated side
externally per unit length of the duct in order to
maintain these operating conditions. 28.0 kW
