Advanced Convection Heat Transfer
HW # 1
Problem 1

Air at 25 °C flows past a flat plate at 2.5 m/s. The plate measures 600 mm × 300 mm and is
maintained at a uniform temperature of 95 °C. If the air flows parallel to the 600 mm side,
calculate the heat loss from the plate. How would this heat loss be affected if the flow of air is
made parallel to the 300 mm side?
Problem 2

When 0.6 kg of water per minute is passed through a tube of 2 cm diameter, it is found to be
heated from 20 °C to 60 °C. The heating is achieved by condensing steam on the surface of the
tube, and subsecuently the surface temperature of the tube is maintained at 90 °C. Determine
the length of the tube required for fully developed flow.
Problem 3

A vertical pipe with diameter of 80 mm and height of 2 m is maintained at a constant


temperature of 120 °C. The pipe is surrounded by still atmospheric air at 30 °C. Find the heat
loss by natural convection.
Problem 4

In a manufacturing process, a transparent film is being bonded to substrate as shown in the


figure. To cure the bond at a temperature 𝑇0 , a radiant source is used to provide a heat flux
𝑞0′′ (W/m2), all of which is absorbed at the bonded surface. The back of the substrate is
maintained at 𝑇1 while the free surface of the film is exposed to air at 𝑇∞ and a convection heat
transfer coefficient ℎ. Calculate 𝑞0′′ (W/m2) required to maintain the bonded surface at 𝑇0 = 60
°C.

Problem 5
Air at 2 atm and 200 °C is heated as it flows through a tube with a diameter of 2.54 cm at a
velocity of 10 m/s. Calculate the heat transfer per unit length of tube if a constant heat flux
condition is maintained at the wall and the wall temperature is 20 °C above the air temperature,
all along the length of the tube. How much would the bulk temperature increase over a 3-m
length of the tube?

Problem 6
A thin 80 cm long and 8 cm wide horizontal plate is maintained at a temperature of 130 °C in
large tank full of water at 70 °C. Estimate the rate of heat input into the plate necessary to
maintain the temperature of 130 °C.
Problem 7
The decorative plastic film on a copper sphere of 10 mm diameter is cured in an oven at 75 °C.
Upon removal from the oven, the sphere is subjected to an air stream at 1 atm and 23 °C having
a velocity of 10 m/s. Estimate how long it will take to cool the sphere to 35 °C.
