The air inside inside a house is 14 oC and the convective heat transfer coefficient h = 11 W/m2⋅°C. The air outside the house is 49 oC and the convective heat transfer coefficient h = 7 W/m2⋅°C. A window has dimensions (2m x 2.5m x 8mm) and heat conduction of 0.8W/mk. Determine the total heat resistance through the window in oC/W

Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) in a heat exchanger that uses steam to heat water to the point of vaporization (in vacuum.)
Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) in a heat exchanger that uses steam to heat water to the point of vaporization (in vacuum.) The system is non-insulated, so the heat lost to the surroundings must be taken into consideration. While I know that the heat Q = mCdT and the heat transfer rate q = UAdT(Log-mean), I am struggling to equate the two due to the heat lost to the surroundings. How do I go about determining the overall...

Consider the following schematic for an experiemental methodology to measure the convection heat transfer coefficient distrubution on an airfoil. The metal sheathing is supplied with a heat generation rate of 20 * 106 W/m3. The thickness of the metal sheathing is t = 30 um, and the sheathing's thermal conductivity is k=25 W/mK. The 30 surface locations where the temperatures are measured are spaced evenly at 2mm apart. The measured temperatures are listed in the table below. Location Temperature (degrees...

An air compressor rapidly fills a 0.3m3 tank (there is no heat transfer through the tank walls), initially containing air at 27 ?C, 1 atm, with air drawn from the atmosphere at 27? ?C, 1 atm. During filling, the relationship between the pressure and specific volume of the air in the tank is pv1.4 = constant. You can model the air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats at 300K. Calculate (and show your work) the tank’s pressure and...

Transient heat transfer Leaking steam completely fills a room, pushing out all of the air. The steam is at atmospheric pressure. Because the mortar cement siding walls are initially cool, at a uniform temperature of 22C, the steam begins to condense on the walls. Find the rate of condensation per square meter of wall at (a) 10 s and (b) 30 s after the leak. The wall is 10 cm thick, and you may assume that the other side of...
