An automotive engine can be approximated as
a 0.4-m-high, 0.60-m-wide, and 0.7-m-long rectangular
block. The bottom surface of the block is at a temperature
of 75°C and has an emissivity of 0.92. The ambient air
is at 5°C, and the road surface is at 10°C. 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. Assume the flow to be turbulent over the
entire surface because of the constant agitation of the engine
block. How will the heat transfer be affected when a 2-mmthick
gunk (k = 3 W/m?K) has formed at the bottom surface as
a result of the dirt and oil collected at that surface over time?
Assume the metal temperature under the gunk still to be 75°C.

- A household oven door of 0.4 m height and 0.6 m width reaches an average surface temperature of 50°C during operation. Estimate the total heat loss to the room with ambient air at 22°C and convective heat transfer coefficient 5 W/m².K, if the door has an emissivity of 0.83 and the surroundings are also at 22°C.arrow_forwardExplain why convection happens more often in gases and liquids than solids.arrow_forwardWrite the comparison between forced and free convection in a non-isothermal system?arrow_forward
