2. A heater is a thin vertical panel 1.0m long and 0.7m high and is used in a warehouse to keep workers warm. The heater has air circulating on each side. Assume the maximum temperature of the panel is 60°C (already above the board line that is safe for human hands to touch briefly without getting hurt). Assume the room air temperature is 18°C but the warehouse wall temperature is 5°C. Model the surface with an emittance of 0.9 and Vair = 1.57x10-5 m²/s. a. Determine the maximum power rating for the heater. b. Now if you run the heat by standing on its side (it will be 1.0 m high and 0.7 m long), determine the surface temperature. c. Compare case a and b and explain any differences you see.

Q2: A: The exterior wall of a single-story office building near Chicago is 3 m high and 15 m long. The wall consists of 100-mm face brick, 40-mm polystyrene insulating board. 150-mm lightweight concrete block, and an interior 16-mm gypsum. The wall contains three single-glass of 3 mm thickness windows 1.5 m high by 2 m long. Calculate the heat loss through the wall at design conditions if the inside temperature is (20 °C). The outside temperature is (-18 "C).
A radiant-heating system is installed in the plaster ceiling of a room 36 ft long by 18 ft wide by 9 ft high. Assume direct radiation. The temperature of the concrete floor is maintained at 75°F. The temperature of the air passing through the room is held at 75°F. If the required heat supply to the floor is 8000 BTU/hr, calculate the necessary temperature at the ceiling surface. How much heat is transferred to the air, in BUT/hr? Emissivity of plaster = 0.93; absorptivity of concrete = 0.63. The convective heat-transfer coefficient between the ceiling and the air is given by the equation hc = 0.20 (AT)¹/4.
Can someone please help me with creating an excel spreadsheet to calculate heat transfer phenomenon from a cylindrical fuel rod to the coolant? The excel sheet needs to be able to calculate these 3 things: Heat generated in a fuel rod at a distance ‘r’ from the center; Total Heat generated in the Reactor; the maximum temperature in the fuel and the cladding surface temperature, for a fuel rod at a distance ‘r’ from the center. The fuel used in this will be UO2 and there is a thin layer of helium that will separate the fuel from the cladding material. The user input parameters will be: the thermal neutron flux at the core, thermal conductivity of fuel, thermal conductivity of helium, thermal conductivity of the cladding, thickness of the helium layer, thickness of the cladding, diameter of the fuel pellet, fuel rod location (r), Cylindrical Reactor Size, and the fuel enrichment. For the fluid the user input will be coolant temperature and the heat transfer coefficient.
The schematic below illustrates a tank formed from two zones, i.e. liquid and solid. The tank is heated from the left-side with a time-varying solar heat radiation g,ol =f(t) (Wim), while the right-side is kept at a low temperature T. The top surface of the tank is subjected to the ambient conditions, i.e. (hair & Tair ), while its bottom is thermally insulated. Conjugate heat transfer takes place between the two-physically different zones through the fluid-solid interface separating them, while fluid flow is induced due to buoyancy effects where the buoyancy force is approximated according to Boussinesq formulation Fiuoyaney=P0 Bg(T-To). Explain the following: 1- The assumptions required to simulate the below problem. 2- The conservation equations governing the transport phenomena in each zone. 3- The boundary conditions closing the mathematical model. 4- The discretized form of each conservation equation stated in (point 2) above. 5- The appropriate differencing scheme to be used for…

The operators have noticed that the performance of the reactor is somewhat different to thedesign specifications and suspect that the thermal cycling may be responsible. The seniorprocess engineer would like you to analyse two periods:- The period when the reactor is initially heated up and held at the operating temperature.- The period after the reactor is taken offline for maintenance and then heated up again.You should consider the effect of the tube expansion on the operating variables and theoverall effect on pressure drop and conversion. Compare these responses to the estimatedperformance according to the design basis.You may include any equations or diagrams that you consider necessary to support yourdiscussion. A numerical solution is not required.
