Heat transfer
It is desired to heat the workshop with a stove made of falling cylindrical sheet material with an outer diameter of 400 mm and a height of 1600 mm. The surface temperature of the stove is 217 oC and the radiation emission coefficient is 0.92, the temperature of the workshop surfaces is 12 oC and the ambient temperature of the workshop is 17 oC. Next to the stove, the workshop surface area is very large. From the side surface of the stove to the workshop; a) By transport,b) with radiation Calculate the heat transfer.
Two parallel Aluminum sheet plates 0.75 by 1.0 m are spaced 0.4 m apart. One plate is maintained at 1200-C and the other at 300-C. What is the net radiant heat exchange between the two plates?
The door of an oven in the kitchen of a house is 0.5 m high and 0.7 m wide. When the oven is operating, the outside temperature of the door reaches 32°C. Calculate the heat transfer from the oven door towards the room at 22°C, taking into account the effects of radiation. The emissivity of the oven door is 1 and the walls of the kitchen are at 22°C.
