Initially the top surface of an oven measuring 0.5 m by 0.5 m is at a uniform temperature of 47 °C under quiescent room air conditions. The inside air temperature of the oven is 150 °C, the room air temperature is 17 °C, and the heat transfer from the surface is 40 W. a. First, determine the value for the inside surface heat transfer coefficient for these conditions (in W/m²-K). In order to reduce the surface temperature and meet safety requirements, room air is blown across the top surface with a velocity of 20 m/s in a direction parallel to an edge. b. Assuming that the internal heat transfer coefficient h? is unchanged, determine the heat loss from the top surface under the forced convection condition. (You'll need a value for the outside surface heat transfer coefficient, h?, which you can find by using our correlations for flow over a horizontal plate. To simplify, just obtain air properties at the ambient air temperature of 17 °C, since you don't know the film temperature to start with. c. Estimate the surface temperature achieved with the forced convection condition.

Step 1
To determine the value for the inside surface heat transfer coefficient, we can use the equation for heat transfer through convection: Q = h * A * (T_inside - T_ambient) where Q is the heat transfer rate, h is the heat transfer coefficient, A is the surface Show more…

i. The composite wall of an oven consists of three materials, two of which are of known thermal conductivity, kA 20 W/m K and kC50 W/m K, and known thickness, LA 0.30 m and LC 0.15 m. The third material, B, which is sandwiched between materials A and C, is of known thickness, LB 0.15 m, but unknown thermal conductivity kB. Under steady-state operating conditions, measurements reveal an outer surface temperature of Ts,o 20°C, an inner surface temperature of Ts,i 600°C, and an oven air temperature of T 800°C. The inside convection coefficient h is known to be 25 W/m2 K. What is the value of kB?

Consider a furnace that is situated in a room with a surrounding air temperature of 30°C and an average convection coefficient of 10 W/m²°C. Convection and radiation heat transfer occur between the outer surface of the furnace and the surroundings. The front of the furnace is made up of two parallel plates, where the inner plate has a temperature of 600°C. To ensure safety and prevent thermal burns on the people working around the furnace, the outer surface temperature of the furnace should be kept below 458°C. Based on the above information, determine the number of radiation shields that should be placed in parallel on the front surface. Furnace front: T_inner = 600°C Air: 30°C, h = 10 W/m²K Radiation shields: T_max = 458°C Assume all the surfaces have the same emissivity of 0.1 and show the different steps of calculations with necessary diagrams.
