Example 2: Heat transfer by Convection

Solved Examples

A 2-m-long, 0.3-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room

at 15°C, as shown in the following figure. Heat is generated in the

wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface temperature

of the wire is measured to be 152°C in steady operation. Also, the

voltage drop and electric current through the wire are measured to

be 60 V and 1.5 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer by

radiation, determine the convection heat transfer coefficient for

heat transfer between the outer surface of the wire and the air in

the room.

Example 3: Heat transfer by Radiation

Solved Examples

Consider a person standing in a room maintained at 22°C at all times. The

inner surfaces of the walls, floors, and the ceiling of the house are observed to

be at an average temperature of 10°C in winter and 25°C in summer.

Determine the rate of radiation heat transfer between this person and the

surrounding surfaces if the exposed surface area and the average outer surface

temperature of the person are 1.4 m2 and 30°C, respectively. Take the

emissivity of a person is 0.95

A transistor with a height of 0.4 cm and a diameter of 0.6 cm is mounted on a circuit

board. The transistor is cooled by air flowing over it with an average heat transfer

coefficient of 30 W/m2·°C. If the air temperature is 55°C and the transistor case

temperature is not to exceed 70°C, determine the amount of power this transistor can

dissipate safely. Disregard any heat transfer from the transistor base.
