Textbook Question

Chapter 6.11, Problem 17P

A steam power plant receives heat from a furnace at a rate of 280 GJ/h. Heat losses to the surrounding air from the steam as it passes through the pipes and other components are estimated to be about 8 GJ/h. If the waste heat is transferred to the cooling water at a rate of 165 GJ/h, determine (a) net power output and (b) the thermal efficiency of this power plant.

A power transistor with three 0.8 mm diameter leads of a copper-silver alloy (k = 400 W/m-K) dissipates 3.5 Watts of power. The printed circuit board (PCB) on which the transistor is mounted is maintained at 30 C. The air temperature is 20 C and the heat transfer coefficient for the leads is 60 W/m² K. The length of the leads from the transistor to printed circuit board is 9.0 mm. (a) Determine the maximum lead temperature neglecting all convection effects. (b) Determine the maximum lead temperature if convection is present. T=20C h = 60 W/m²K Air Power Transistor Lead k = 400 W/m K TPCB = 30 C 9 mm

A window in a tall building experiences a horizontal wind flow parallel to the surface at a velocity of 8 m/s. The window measures 2 m high, 1.5 m wide and 6.5 mm thick. The transition from the building wall to the window glass surface is not smooth. The window casement that surrounds the edge of glass pane is raised 10 mm above the surface of the glass and adjacent wall structure. Inside the building, the air temperature and heat transfer coefficient for the interior surface are 21 °C and 9 W/m² K respectively. The window has a uniform thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m K. If the outdoor air temperature is 5 °C, determine the rate of convective heat loss from the window. Develop a thermal resistance network for the window system. Please state and justify all assumptions. Neglect any conduction through the casement. Assume the following air properties: kair =0.0248 W/m K, v= 14.20 x 106 m²/s, Pr = 0.712. Outside Air u=8m/s T=5°C casement glass Inside 2 m T=21°C h=9W/m² K 6.5 mm 1.5 m…
