Heat Convection
Tutorial 2
1. Consider a person standing in a breezy room at 20C. Determine the total
rate of heat transfer from this person if the exposed surface area and the
average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.6 m 2 and 29C,
respectively and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 6 W m -2 K-1.
(86.4 W)
2. A 2 in. diameter spherical ball whose surface is maintained at a
temperature of 170F is suspended in the middle of a room at 70F. If the
convection heat transfer coefficient is 12 Btu hr -1 ft-2 -F, determine the rate
of heat transfer from the ball.
(104.64 Btu/hr)
3. A metal plate 0.609 m in height forms the vertical wall of an oven and is at
a temperature of 171.1C. Within the oven is air at a temperature of 93.4C
and atmospheric pressure. Find the heat transfer coefficient and the heat
taken up by air per second per meter width.
(243.4578 J/s.m)
4. The maximum allowable surface temperature of an electrically heated
vertical plate 15 cm high and 10 cm wide is 140C. Estimate the maximum
rate of heat dissipation from both sides of the plate in an atmosphere at
20C.
(26.324 W)
5. Consider a 2 ft x 2 ft thin square plate in a room at 75F. One side of the
plate is maintained at a temperature of 130F, while the other side is
insulated. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the plate by natural
convection if the plate is vertical.
