Question

Transcribed Image Text:A wood stove is used to heat a single room. The stove is cylindrical in shape, with a
diameter of D = 0.400 m and a length of L = 0.500 m, and operates at a temperature
of T, = 200 °C.
(a) If the temperature of the room is T, = 20°C, determine the amount of radiant
energy delivered to the room by the stove each second if the emissivity of the
stove is e = 0.920.
(b) By definition, the R-value of a conducting slab is given by
Atot(Th – To)
Poond
R =
where Atot is the total surface area, Pcond is the power loss by conduction through
the slab, Th and Te are the temperatures on the hotter and cooler sides of the
slab. If the room has a square shape with walls of height H = 2.40 m and width
W = 7.60 m, determine the R-value of the walls and ceiling required to maintain
the room temperature at T = 20°C if the outside temperature is T, = 0°C.
Note that we are ignoring any heat conveyed by the stove via convection and any
energy lost through the walls and windows via convection or radiation.

- The surface of a 0.5-m diameter space probe dissipates 150 W of heat to the outside. If the probe surface emits 80% of the heat that comes from the electronic equipment inside of it and the probe does not receive radiation from other surfaces, compute for the surface emissive power in : m²°arrow_forwardA thin outer border of a building's area covers 10×10m^2. The sky temperature is 300K meanwhile the temperature of the sun is 5800K. The overall distance between the sun and earth is 1.5×10^11 meters and the overall sun diameter is 1.4×10^9 meter and the earth diameter is 1.3×10^7 meters. The properties of the outer border are: ελ = 0.5 for λ > 6 µm & ελ = 0.1 for λ < 6 µm. The outer border can be considered a diffuse surface. Air current flows over the border with a velocity of 10 meters/second with a temperature of 300K. Beneath the border, the air inside the building flows over the bottom side of the border at 1 meter/second. Determine the steady-state temperature of the border for these conditions.

During operation, the top surface is measured to be 800 K and the power supplied to the resistance heater is 1750 W/m². The sidewall of the furnace is perfectly insulated with & = 0.2. If the emissivity of the top and bottom surfaces are ε = 0.5 and ε = 0.7, respectively, determine the temperatures of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the furnace.
