Tutorial Sheet-1 HTO

The document is a tutorial sheet for a Heat Transfer Operations course at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, detailing various problems related to heat transfer calculations. It includes questions about heat loss through a concrete slab, temperature differences in a silicon chip, temperature profiles in a solid block, heat loss from a standing man, local heat transfer coefficients, radiation heat transfer in an electric furnace, and surface temperature of a spherical probe. The tutorial is designed to enhance understanding of practical heat transfer applications.

Q1. The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the
winter, temperatures are nominally 17 ℃ and 10 ℃ at the top and bottom surfaces,
respectively. If the concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m.K, what is the rate of
heat loss through the slab? If the basement is heated by a gas furnace operating at an
efficiency of 0.90 and natural gas is priced at Cg=$0.01/MJ, what is the daily cost of the heat
loss?

Q2. A square silicon chip (k =150 W/m.K) is of width w = 5 mm on a side and of


thickness t = 1 mm. The chip is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces
are insulated, while the front surface is exposed to a coolant If 4 W are being dissipated in
circuits mounted to the back surface of the chip, what is the steady-state temperature
difference between back and front surfaces.

Q3. Consider a solid block of unit thickness for which thermal conductivity decreases
with increase in temperature. The opposite ends of the block is maintained at two different
constant temperatures T(x=0) and T(x=1) where T(x=0)>T(x=1). Heat transfer is by steady state
conduction, There is no sink or source of energy within the block. Draw the temperature
profile of the block (T v/s x).

Q4. For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter,
170-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the
side surface at an average temperature of 34℃. For a convection heat transfer coefficient of
15 W/m2 ·℃, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at
20°C. What would your answer be if the convection heat transfer coefficient is increased to
50 W/m2 · ℃ as a result of winds? What is the windchill factor in this case?

(Wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the windchill effect that is due to
the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The
windchill effect is usually expressed in terms of the windchill factor, which is the difference
between the actual air temperature and the equivalent to calm air temperature).

Q5. Liquid is flowing above a heated horizontal plate maintained at temperature Tw. The
bulk temperature of the fluid is T∞. The temperature profile in the thermal boundary layer
is given by:
1 y 3 3 y
T = Tw + (Tw − T∞ ) [ ( ) − ( )] , 0 ≤ y ≤ δt
2 δt 2 δt
Here, y is the vertical distance from the plate, is the thickness of the thermal boundary
layer and k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid. Find The local heat transfer coefficient
expression.

Q6. Consider an electric furnace of dimension 3-m x 3-m x 3-m with top and side
surfaces closely approximate black surfaces at a temperature of 1200 K. The base surface
has an emissivity of 0.7 and is maintained at 800 K. Determine the net rate of radiation heat
transfer to the base surface from the top and side surfaces.

Q7. A spherical interplanetary probe of 0.5-m diameter contains electronics that


dissipate 150 W. If the probe surface has an emissivity of 0.8 and the probe does not
receive radiation from other surfaces, as, for example, from the sun, what is its surface
temperature?
