QUESTION 3:
Warm air is blown over the inner surface of the windshield of an automobile to
defrost ice accumulated on the outer surface. The windshield has a thickness of
5 mm and thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m-K. The outside ambient temperature is
-10°C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 200 W/m²-K, while the ambient
temperature inside the automobile is 25°C. Determine the value of the convection
heat transfer coefficient for the warm air blowing over the inner surface of the
windshield necessary to cause the accumulated ice to begin melting.
3. An industrial freezer is designed to operate with an internal air temperature of
18°C when the external air temperature is 29°C, and the internal and external heat
transfer coefficients are 8 W/m²-K and 12 W/m²-K, respectively. The walls of the
freezer are composite construction, comprising an inner layer of plastic (k = 0.33
W/m-K, and thickness of 10 mm), and an outer layer of stainless steel (k = 15 W/m-
K, and thickness of 3 mm). Sandwiched between these two layers is a layer of
insulation material with k = 0.07 W/m-K. Find the width (mm) of the insulation that
is required to reduce the convective heat loss to 35 W/m².
Humans are able to control their rates of heat production and heat loss to maintain a nearly constant core temperature of Tc = 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 and fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, Ti = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L = 2 mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3 Wm ⋅ K. The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m2 and is dressed in a bathing suit. The emissivity of the skin is ε = 0.95.a). When the person is in still air at T∞ = 308 K, what is the skin surface temperature and rate of heat loss to the environment? Convection heat transfer to the air is characterized by a free convection coefficient of h = 2 W?2 ⋅ Kb). When the person is in water at T∞ =…
