- An electrical transmission line of 1.2-cm diameter carries a current of 200 amps and has a resistance of 310-4 ohm per meter of length. If the air around this line is at v, determine the surface temperature on a windy day, assuming a wind blows across the line at 33 km/h.arrow_forwardHeat Transferarrow_forwardIn presence of an external flow when will the convective heat transfer be dominated by free convection and not by the forced convection due to the external flow? Gr ≫ Re². Gr ≪ Re. Gr ≫ Re. Gr ≪ Re For ideal gases, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure, thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, and Prandtl number are independent of pressure. How will the ratio of thicknesses of velocity boundary layer and thermal boundary layer change if pressure is increased from 1 atm to 5 atm for the flow of an ideal gas over a flat plate? It will decrease by a factor of 5. It will remain the same. It will increase by a factor of 5. We need to know the actual fluid properties to tell.arrow_forward
- Heat Transfer Lesson The water will be heated from 10 (Degrees centigrade oC) to 90 (Degrees centigrade oC) while flowing through a smooth pipe with 1.5 cm inner diameter and 7 meters length.The entire surface of the pipe is equipped with an electric heater, which ensures uniform heating throughout.The outer surface of the heater is well insulated and therefore all heat generated in the heater in continuous operation is transferred to the water in the pipe.If the system provides 6 Liter / minute flow rate of hot water. (Thermophysical properties of water at 50 oC:ρ = 988 m3/kg, k= 0.6305 W/m oC, cp=4181 J/kg oC, Pr=3.628, μ= 0.0005471 kg/m.s ) a)Find the power of the resistance heater [W]. b)Calculate the inner surface temperature [oC] of the pipe at the outlet. c)Find the pressure drop [Pa]. d)Find the pump power [W] required to overcome this pressure drop.arrow_forwardHEAT TRANSFER A 0.5 cm diameter copper wire is exposed to environment air in cross flow over the wire with uniform velocity of 0.5 m/s. The copper wire is insulated by a rubberized sheath with thermal conductivity of 0.13 W/m∙K. The outer surface of the wire has a temperature of 60˚C due to the electric current flowing through it. The thermo-physical properties of the environment are υ =15.89 × 10-6 m2 /s, Pr = 0.707, k = 26.3 x 10-3 W/m.K. The outer surface of the insulation must be kept at temperature of 45˚C or below. Design a suitable thickness of the insulation in order toallow the use of such insulated wire in a room temperature of 27˚C.arrow_forwardThe temperature of a gas stream is measured by a thermocouple whose junction can be approximated as a 1-mm-diameter sphere. Take the junction’s properties as: k of 32 W/m K, density of 8.2 kg/m^3, c of 300 J/Kg K. On its surface, the overall heat transfer coefficient is 200 W/m^2 K. Neglect any conduction loss from the sphere to other parts of the thermocouple. Create a plot of measurement error as a function of time for the thermocouple, expressed as a fraction of the initial temperature difference.arrow_forward
- African elephants have a large body with a surface area of the trunk as A= 11 m². Typically, elephants roll into wet mud in summer time. The evaporation of moisture from skin surface enhances the convection heat transfer rate to h= 30 W/m²K (without evaporation the h value is very small ~ h=8 W/m²K). The normal metabolism of elephants (the total heat generation rate in the elephant body) is Qgen = 2500 W. Based on what you learned in ENME321, the surface temperature of the elephant (or any object with heat generate rate) is calculated using the following equation: Ts = Too+ Qgen /(h A). The air temperature Too is 32°C. Elephants are not considered as being overheated if the surface temperatures are lower than 37°C. a. The elephant has not rolled into wet mud. Use h=8 W/m²K, estimate the surface temperature of the elephant. Do you think that the elephant will be overheated? b. The elephant has rolled into wet mud. Use h=30 W/m²K, estimate the surface temperature of the elephant.
