Chapter 5, Problem 5.100P
Ground source heat pumps operate by using the soil, rather than ambient air, as the heat source (or sink) for heating (or cooling) a building. A liquid transfers energy from (to) the soil by way of buried plastic tubing. The tubing is at a depth for which annual variations in the temperature of the soil are much less than those of the ambient air. For example, at a location such as South Bend, Indiana, deep-ground temperatures may remain at approximately
To what depth should the tubing be buried so that the soil can be viewed as an infinite medium at constant temperature over a 12-month period? Account for the periodic cooling (heating) of the soil due to both annual changes in ambient conditions and variations in heat pump operation from the winter heating to the summer cooling mode.

1. Humans are able to control their rates of heat production and heat loss to maintain a
nearly constant core temperature of Te = 37°C under a wide range of environmental
conditions. This process is called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating
heat transfer between a human body and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin:
fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a
temperature slightly less than the core temperature, T = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person
with a skin/fat layer of thickness L =
mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3
"- The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m? and is dressed in a bathing suit. The

- 1.67 In beauty salons and in homes, a ubiquitous device is the hairdryer. The front end of a typical hairdryer is idealized as a thin-walled cylindrical duct with a 6-cm diameter with a fan at the inlet that blows air over an electric heating coil as schematically shown in the figure. The design of this appliance requires two power settings, with which the air blown over the electric heating coil is heated from the ambient temperature of to an outlet temperature of and with exit air velocities of 1.0 m/s and 1.5 m/s. Estimate the electric power required for the heating coil to meet these conditions, assuming that heat loss from the outside of the dryer duct is neglected.arrow_forwardPrinciples Of Heat Transfer 8th edition, Problem 1.67chapter 1.

- Please solve and answer the question correctly please. Thank you!!arrow_forwardWe have a system made up of a glass container (glass) whose bottom and top have been insulated. A mass of liquid (m) is introduced inside it at a temperature T. As this mass of water transmits heat, its temperature TI decreases, without changing the ambient temperature TA. Measurements of temperature are made with water and with saline water at different times. How would you calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient (h)?arrow_forwardHeat transfer is of critical importance in various industrial applications, including manufacturing. During machining, both the cutting tool and the workpiece will be significantly heated by friction heating. The heating of the cutting tool will reduce the tool hardness and strength, deteriorate the cutting quality, and shorten the tool life. Therefore, it is essential to prevent the overheating of the cutting tool during machining. Coolants are an instrumental part of machining to help cool the tool and the workpiece, provide lubricant, flush away chips, and prevent corrosion. The task of this project is to design the coolant to maintain the maximum machine tool temperature below 100 °C during the side milling process. As shown in the figure below, the machine tool has a diameter of 10 mm (D) and a length of 5 cm. The tool material is M2 high speed tool steel (T11302) and the workpiece is aluminum 6061. The spindle speed (w) is 2000 RPM and the cutting speed (v) is 50 mm/min. The feed…arrow_forward
- an unsisulated 100 mm diameter steam pipe runs for 25 meters inside a room whose walls and air are at a temperature of 25 C. the superheated steam inside the pipe maintains the temperature at the pipe surface at 150 C. if the natural convection heat transfer coefficient of the air outside the pipe is 10 w/m^2 k and the surface emissivity is 0.8, compute for the total rate of heat transfer from the surface of the pipe in k/Warrow_forwardFor an extended surface ie. fin, the direction of convective heat transfer from the fin's main surface is opposite to the principal direction of heat conduction in the solid. O can be in any directions. is normal to the principal direction of heat conduction in the solid. O is parallel to the principal direction of heat conduction in the solid.arrow_forwardIn a cylindrical fuel element for a gas-cooled nuclear reactor, the heat generation rate within the fuel element due to fission can be approximated by the relation: g(r) = g_0 [1 - (r/b)^2] W/m^3 where b is the radius of the fuel element and g_0 is constant. The boundary surface at r = b is maintained at a uniform temperature T_0. Assuming one-dimensional, steady-state heat flow, develop a relation for the temperature drop from the centerline to the surface of the fuel element. For radius b = 2 cm, the thermal conductivity k = 10 W/m middot K and g_0 = 2 times 10^7 W/m^3, calculate the temperature drop from the centerline to the surface.arrow_forward
- A plane furnace surface at 150°C covered with 1-cm-thick insulation is exposed to air at 30°C, and the combined heat transfer coefficient is 25 W/m2⋅°C.

A small metal building is to be constructed of corrugated steel sheet walls with a total wall surface area of about 300 m². The air conditioner consumes about 1 kW of electricity for every 4 kW of cooling supplied and two wall construction are to be compared on the basis of cooling costs. Assume that electricity costs S0.15/kWh. Determine the electrical energy savings per week of using 260 mm of fiberglass batt insulation to the steel sheet wall (U-0.17 W/m² "C) instead of 159 mm of fiberglass insulation (U-0.31 W/m² °C) assuming an overall temperature difference of 20 °C across the wall.arrow_forwardIn a nice Christmas evening, where the temperature is low compared to a summer night, an engineering student, studying Heat Transfer subject, and his brother decided to camp outside their house. The student gave advice to his brother, "Be cautious in setting up your bed, considering your body as a thermodynamic system, plenty of blankets to cover the top of your body, would not be sufficient enough creating an insulation for yourself. The bottom side contributes also to heat rejection in your body, therefore provide also layers of insulation on the bottom side.".
