Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 1.46

A transmission case measures W = 0.30 m on a side and receives a power input of Pi= 150 hp from the engine. If the transmission efficiency is η=0.93 and air flow over the case corresponds T =30 degree C and h=200 W/m2-K. What is the surface temperature of the transmission? All sample problems and notes…

A one-dimensional plane wall of thickness 2L=100mm experiences uniform thermal energy generation of q dot=1000 W/m3 and is convectively cooled at x=+/-50mm by an ambient fluid characterized by T infinity=20°C. If the steady-state temperature distribution within the wall is T(x)=a(L2-x2)+b where a=10 °C /m2 and b=30 °C, what is the thermal conductivity of the wall?…

A furnace for processing semiconductor materials is formed by a silicon carbide chamber that is zone-heated on the top section and cooled on the lower section. With the elevator in the lowest position, a robot arm inserts the silicon wafer on the mounting pins. In a production operation, the wafer is rapidly moved toward the…

What are Low-E Windows? Low-E windows as defined by http://www.royalprime.com are windows that have two glass panes or more that selectively rejects certain energy which as a result, greatly decreases the amount of heat that transfer through the glass (window glossary, 2012). In this research paper I compare a standard egress double pane  double hung…

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to determine the thermal conductivity k of the disk material by measuring the temperature distribution for transient and steady-state heat conduction in a cylindrical wall. To conduct this experiment cooling water was pumped though the HT10X Heat Transfer service Unit at approximately 1.5 liters/min. Initially the heating power…

The temperature distribution across a wall 0.3 m thick at a certain instant of time is T(x) = a + bx + cx2, where T is in degrees Celsius and x is in meters, a = 200 °C, b = -200 °C /m, and c = 30 °C /m2, The wall has a thermal conductivity…
