emissivity is 0.7, Calculate the total heat loss per unit length if the
walls of the enclosing room are at 10c.
Q9-In a certain experiment,cylinder samples of diameter of 5 cm and
length of 10 cm are used.Two thermocouples in each sample are
placed 3 cm apart. After initial transient ,the electric heater is
observed to read 0.4 A at 110 v,and both differntial thermometers

coefficient between the outer surface of the wire and the air in the
room (neglet radiation effects)

surface of the room every where is 10c in winter and 25c in
summer.Determine the rate of radiation heat transfer between the
person and the surrounding surfaces if the exposed surface area is
1.4m2 and outer surface temperature of the person is 30c.
Q12-Consider a person in a room at 20c. Determine the total rate of
heat transfer from the person if the exposed surface area and the
average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.6m 2 and 29c
respectivily and the heat transfer coefficient is (h=6 w/m2).
Q13-Two large parallel plates at constant temerapure 300k and 200k

heat transfer per unit surface area assuming the gap between the
plates is(a)-filled with atmospheric air(k=0.0219 w/mk).
