6.2. The heat transfer coefficient for air flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature-time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 12.7 mm in diameter, is at 66°C before it is inserted into an airstream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 55°C 69 s after the sphere is inserted into the airstream. Assume and then justify that the sphere behaves as a spacewise isothermal object and calculate the heat transfer coefficient.

The interior wall of a large, commercial walk-in type meat freezer is covered under normal operating conditions with a 2-cm thick layer of ice. One day, a power outage cuts electricity to the refrigeration system of the freezer. Estimate the time required to melt this layer of ice if it has a mass density of 700kg/m3 and a latent heat of fusion of 334 kJ/kg. Consider the air temperature inside the freezer to be 20C with a heat transfer coefficient of 2W/m2K for convection from the freezer surface to air, and clearly state the assumptions made in your calculations.

1.21 In an experimental set up in a laboratory, a long cylinder with a 5-cm diameter, and an electrical resistance heater inside its entire length is cooled with water flowing crosswise over the cylinder at and a velocity of 0.8 m/s. For these flow conditions, 20 kW/m of power is required to maintain a uniform temperature of at the surface of the cylinder. When water is not available, air at is used with a velocity of 10 m/s to maintain the same surface temperature. However, in this case, the cylinder surface heat dissipation rate is reduced to 400 W/m. Calculate the convection heat transfer coefficients for both water and air, and comment on the reason for the differences in the values.
