3. Consider a hot automotive engine, which can be approximated as a 0.6 m high, 0.3 m wide, and 0.9 m long rectangular block. The bottom surface of the block is at a temperature of 90°C and has an emissivity of 0.9. The ambient air is at 23°C, and the road surface is at 28°C. The fluid properties of air are determined at the film temperature and can be found in the tables at the end of the tutorial. a. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the bottom surface of the engine block by convection and radiation as the car travels at a velocity of 60 km/h.

3. Consider a hot automotive engine, which can be approximated as a 0.6 m high, 0.3 m
wide, and 0.9 m long rectangular block. The bottom surface of the block is at a temperature
of 90°C and has an emissivity of 0.9. The ambient air is at 23°C, and the road surface is
at 28°C. The fluid properties of air are determined at the film temperature and can be found
in the tables at the end of the tutorial.
a. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the bottom surface of the engine block by
convection and radiation as the car travels at a velocity of 60 km/h.
b. If the temperatures were measured with a thermometer accurate to the nearest 1°C,
what
in the resultant heat
is
the
uncertainty
transfer rate?
(You may ignore the uncertainties when calculating your fluid properties).
c. If the speedometer in the car is accurate to the nearest 2km/h, what is the
uncertainty in the result?
