Holman, 9th edition (2002) – covered 3/12 to 4/9/2011 (69 problems and 9 TAK 2000 models). “Heat Transfer SO” by Pitts & Sissom, 2nd edition (1998) - covered 2/12 to 3/10/2011 (37 problems and 4 TAK 2000 models). “Principles of Heat Transfer” by Kreith & Bohn, 4th edition (1984)– covered 11/16 to 12/25/2010, reviewed – 5/15 to 5/24/2011 (59 problems and 36 TAK 2000 models).

12 Sample Holman problems & solutions (from a total of 69 problems previously worked): Chapter 1 – Introduction 1-18. A small radiant heater has metal strips 6 mm with a total length of 3 m. The surface emissivity of the strips is 0.85. To what temperature must the strips be heated if they are to dissipate 2000 W of heat to a room at 25 ºC? Solution: for an enclosure q = ε1ζA1(T14 – T24) q/ε1ζA1 = T14 – T24 or T14 = T24 + q/ε1ζA1 T14 = (298 K)4 + (2000 W)/{(0.85)*(5.669 x 10-8 W/m2-K4)*(0.006 m)*(3 m)} T1 = 1233 K = 960 ºC 1-24. One side of a plane wall is maintained at 100 ºC, while the other side is exposed to a convection environment having T = 10 ºC and h = 10 W/m2-ºC. The wall has k = 1.6 W/m-ºC and is 40 cm thick. Calculate the heat-transfer rate through the wall. Solution: using two resistors in series, q = ∆T/∑R = ∆T/(R1 + R2) = ∆T/(t/kA + 1/hA) = A*∆T/(t/k + 1/h) q/A = ∆T/(t/k + 1/h) = (100 – 10)ºC/{(0.40 m)/(1.6 W/m-ºC) + 1/(10 W/m2-ºC) = 90 ºC/{(0.25 + 0.1)m2-ºC} = 257 W/m2 1-30. A black 20-by-20 cm plate has air forced over it at a velocity of 2 m/s and a temperature of 0 ºC. The plate is placed in a large room whose walls are at 30 ºC. The back side of the plate is perfectly insulated. Calculate the temperature of the plate resulting from the convection-radiation balance. Use information from Table 1-3(for convection coefficients).

Solution: energy balance gives qin = qout Holman uses the intro equation for net exchange of radiation q = FεFG σA(T14 – T24) where Fε is an emissivity function, and FG is a geometric “view factor” function. In our case, assume both are equal to 1, giving σ*A*(Twalls4 – TS4) = hc*A*(TS - T∞) Table 1-3 (page 11) gives hc = 12 W/m2-ºC for flow conditions and A’s cancel out, giving (5.669 x 10-8 W/m2-K4)*(3034 – TS4) K4 = (12 W/m2-ºC)*(TS – 273) K (3034 – TS4) K4 = (211677544.54 K3)*(TS – 273) Guess TS until LHS = RHS as follows: TS LHS RHS 280 1481742812 2282332481 290 3598518257 1356082481 285 2540130534 1831391856 283 2116775445 2014644560 282 1905097900 2104825905 Use TS = 282 K = 9 °C as the temperature of the plate. Chapter 2 – Steady-State Conduction – One Dimension 2-4.

Find the heat transfer per unit area through the composite wall in Figure P2-4. Assume one-dimensional heat flow.

Solution: Figure shows a wall such that the hot face (LHS) is at T = 370 ºC and the cold face (RHS) is at 66 ºC. The first layer on the left is material A with kA = 150 W/m-ºC and LA = 2.5 cm, second layer (middle) is a layer with materials B and D in parallel with kB = 30 W/m-ºC and kD = 70 W/m-ºC and LB = LD = 7.5 cm and AB = AD = 0.5*AA, and the right-most layer is material C with kC = 50 W/m-ºC and AC = AA = 0.1 m2. Calculating the individual resistances according to R = L/kA gives the following: RA = LA/kAAA = (0.025 m)/{(150 W/m-ºC)*(0.1 m2)} = 1.667 x 10-3 ºC/W RB = LB/kBAB = (0.075)/{(30)*(0.1/2)} = 0.05 ºC/W RD = LD/kDAD = (0.075)/{(70 W/m-ºC)*(0.1/2)} = 2.14286 x 10-2 ºC/W For the parallel resistors: Req = RBRD/(RB + RD) = (0.05)*(2.14286 x 10-2)/(0.5 + 2.14286 x 10-2) = 2.0548 x 10-3 ºC/W RC = LC/kCAC = (0.05)/{(50)*(0.1)} = 0.01 ºC/W Overall heat flow is given by q = ΔT/∑R = (370 – 66)/(1.667 x 10-3 + 2.0548 x 10-3 + 0.01) = 22155 W (A = 0.1 m2) gives q/A = 221550 W/m2. 2-43. A plate having a thickness of 4.0 mm has an internal heat generation of 200 MW/m3 and a thermal conductivity of 25 W/m-ºC. One side of the plate is insulated and the other side is maintained at 100 ºC. Calculate the maximum temperature in the plate. Solution: simplified differential equation is d2T/dx2 + qdot/k = 0 (qdot = heat generation/volume as given). Two integrations give dT/dx = -(qdot/k)*x + C1

T(x) = -(qdot/2k)*x2 + C1x + C2 Applying BC’s: at x = 0, dT/dx = 0 gives 0 = 0 + C1 or C1 = 0 Thus T(x) = -(qdot/2k)*x2 + C2 Applying BC of T(L) = 100 ºC = -(qdot/2k)*L2 + C2 gives C2 = 100 + (qdot/2k)*L2 T(x) = -(qdot/2k)*L2 + 100 + (qdot/2k)*L2 = (qdot/2k)*(L2 – x2) + 100 Max T occurs at x = 0 where dT/dx = 0 so Tmax = T(0) = (qdot/2k)*L2 + 100 = {(200 x 106 W/m3)/(2*25 W/m-ºC)}*(0.004 m)2 + 100 = 164 ºC 2-69. A very long copper rod (k = 372 W/m-ºC) 2.5 cm in diameter has one end maintained at 90 ºC. The rod is exposed to a fluid whose temperature is 40 ºC. The heattransfer coefficient is 3.5 W/m2-ºC. How much heat is lost by the rod? Solution: DE is d2θ/dx2 – (hP/kA)θ = 0 where θ = T - T∞ Boundary conditions are: at x = 0, θ = θo = To - T∞ and case 1 as x →∞, T→T∞ or θ(∞) = 0 solution to DE is θ/θo = (T - T∞)/(To - T∞) = e-mx m2 = hP/kA = {(3.5 W/m2-ºC)*π*(0.025 m)}/{(372 W/m-ºC)*(π/4)*(0.025 m)2} = 1.505 1/m2 giving m = 1.2269 1/m q = (hPkA)1/2θo = {(3.5 W/m2-ºC)*π*(0.025 m)*(372 W/m-ºC)*(π/4)*(0.025 m)2}1/2*(90 – 40)ºC = 11.2 W Chapter 3 – Steady-State Conduction – Multi Dimensions – I built several TAK 2000 finite difference thermal models in support of solving some of the examples and some of the homework problems in the book. I did no analytical or graphical solutions. (more information is available at www.tak2000.com). Chapter 4 – Unsteady-State Conduction – Again, several TAK 2000 models were built to simulate the example problems and compare transient numerical results. Also, a couple of lumped parameter analysis problems (among others) were worked as follows: 4-6. A piece of aluminum weighing 6 kg and initially at a temperature of 300 ºC is suddenly immersed in a fluid at 20 ºC. The convection heat-transfer coefficient is 58 W/m2-ºC. Taking the aluminum as a sphere having the same weight as that given, estimate the time required to cool the aluminum to 90 ºC, using the lumped-capacity method of analysis (if applicable). Solution: W = mg = ρVg with ρ = 2707 kg/m3 For a sphere S = A = 4πR2 = πD2 and V = (4/3)πR3 V = (4/3)πR3 = m/ρ = (6 kg)/(2707 kg/m3) gives R = 0.080883 m Biot number = Bi = hS/k = h*(V/A)/k = h*(4 πR3)/{k*4πR2) = hR/3k = (58 W/m2-ºC)*(0.080883 m)/{(3)*(204 W/m-ºC)} = 7.665 x 10-3 Since Bi 5 x 105 (turbulent at trailing edge) – use Eqn.

Calculate the heat transfer from a 20-cm-square plate over which air flows at 35 ºC and 14 kPa. The plate temperature is 250 ºC, and the free-stream velocity is 6 m/s. Solution: using Tf = (Ts + T∞)/2 = (250 + 35)/2 = 142.5 ºC = 415.5 K (avg film temp) Air properties at Tf = 415.5 gives the following linear interpolation T(K) ν x 106 (m2-s) k (W/m-K) Pr 400 25.90 0.03365 0.689 415.5 x1 x2 x3 450 31.71 0.03707 0.683

15.5/50 = (x1 – 25.90)/(31.71 – 25.9) = (x2 – 0.03365)/(0.03707 – 0.03365) = (x3 – 0.689)/(0.683 – 0.689) x1 = ν x 106 = 27.70, ν = 27.70 x 10-6, x2 = k = 0.03471 W/m-K, x3 = Pr = 0.687 ReL = u∞L/ν = (6 m/s)*(0.20 m)/(27.70 x 10-6 m2/s) = 43321.3 < 5 x 105 (laminar) NuL = hL/k = 0.664*ReL1/2Pr1/3 equation (5.46b) NuL = (0.664)*(43321.3)1/2*(0.687)1/3 = 121.96 h = 121.96k/L = (121.96)*(0.03471)/(0.20) = 21.165 W/m2-K q = 2hA*(Ts - T∞) = 2*(21.165 W/m2-K)*(0.20 m)2*(250 – 35) K = 364 W (both sides of plate) Chapter 6 – Empirical and Practical Relations for Forced-Convection Heat Transfer 6-6.

A heat exchanger wall consists of a copper plate 3/8 inch thick. The surface coefficients on the two sides of the plate are 480 and 1250 Btu/h-ft2-ºF, corresponding to fluid temperatures of 200 and 90 ºF, respectively. Assuming that the thermal conductivity of the wall is 220 Btu/h-ft-ºF, (a) draw the thermal circuit, (b) compute the surface temperatures in ºF, and (c) calculate the heat flux in Btu/h-ft2. Solution: (a) draw the thermal circuit – drawn by hand with 3 resistors in series, heat flow from left to right, with T1 = 200 ºF (left-most fluid temp), hc1 = 480 Btu/h-ft2-ºF, R1 = 1/hc1A, Tx unknown (left-most surface temp), R2 = t/kA (copper wall), Ty unknown (right-most surface temp), T2 = 90 ºF (right-most fluid temp), hc2 = 1250 Btu/h-ft2-ºF, and R3 = 1/hc2A. (b) compute the surface temperatures – overall heat flux is given by q/A = ΔT/∑RA = (200 – 90)/{1/480 + (0.375/12)/220 + 1/1250} = 36359 Btu/h-ft2 which is the same through each of the series resistors, so 36359 = (200 – Tx)/(1/480), Tx = 124 ºF 36359 = (Ty – 90), Ty = 119 ºF (c) calculate the heat flux in Btu/h-ft2 – is given above as q/A = 36359 Btu/h-ft2 1.31. A simple solar heater consists of a flat plate of glass below which is located a shallow pan filled with water, so that the water is in contact with the glass plate above it. Solar radiation is passing through the glass at the rate of 156 Btu/h-ft2. The water is at 200 ºF and the surrounding air is 80 ºF. If the heat transfer coefficients between the water and the glass and the glass and the air are 5 Btu/h-ft2-ºF, and 1.2 Btu/h-ft2-ºF

respectively, determine the time required to transfer 100 Btu/ft2 of surface to the water in the pan. The lower surface of the pan may be assumed insulated. Solution: Assuming hci and hco act in series and neglecting resistance of the glass, gives qc/A = ΔT/∑RA = (200 – 80)/{(1/5) + (1/1.2)} = 116.129 Btu/h-ft2 (heat loss) Qnet/A = 100 Btu/ft2 = {(qs – qc)/A}*Δt = (156 – 116.129)*Δt gives Δt = 2.5 h Chapter 2 – Conduction 2.5. A plane wall, 7.5 cm thick, generates heat internally at the rate of 105 W/m3. One side of the wall is insulated, and the other side is exposed to an environment at 93 ºF. The convection coefficient between the wall and the environment is 567 W/m2-K. If the thermal conductivity of the wall is 0.12 W/m-K, calculate the maximum temperature in the wall. Solution: Using Fourier’s law of heat conduction (1D, SS with heat generation) gives k ∂2T/∂x2 = - qGdot (heat generated/volume) or ∂2T/∂x2 = - qGdot/k integration gives ∂T/∂x = (- qGdot/k)*x + C1 and again T(x) = (- qGdot/2k)*x2 + C1x + C2 apply BC’s: at x = 0, ∂T/∂x = 0 = 0 + C1 gives C1 = 0, thus T(x) = (- qGdot/k)*x + C2 at x = 0, T = Tmax gives Tmax = C2 and ∂T/∂x = (- qGdot/k)*x at x = L, -kA*(∂T/∂x)x=L = hcA*(T2 - T∞) qGdot*A*L = hcA*(T2 - T∞) qGdot*A*L = hcA*(T2 - T∞) equation (1) at x = L, T(L) = (- qGdot/2k)*L2 + Tmax = T2 equation (2) substitute equation (2) into equation (1) giving qGdot*L/hc = qGdot*L2/2k + Tmax - T∞ Tmax = T∞ + qGL*(L/2k + 1/hc) = 93 + (105)*(0.075)*{(0.075)/(2*0.12) + (1/567)} = 2450 ºC A TAK 2000 finite difference thermal model (problem2_5.out) gives Tmax = 2450 ºC (run as a check) Solving equation (1) for T2 = qGdot*L/hc + T∞ = (105)*(0.075)/(567) + 93 = 106.2 ºC 2.15.

Solution: ΔTmean = (LMTD)*(F) (eqn 8.18) Using Fig. 8.12 for a HX with one shell pass and four tube passes P = (Tt,out – Tt,in)/(Ts,in – Tt,in) = (100 – 200)/(20 – 200) = 100/180 = 0.18 Z = (mdottcpt)/(mdotscps) = (Ts,in – Ts,out)/(Tt,out – Tt,in) = (20 – 90)/(100 – 200) = 0.70 From Fig. 8.12, gives F = 0.98 F * LMTD = F * (ΔTa – ΔTb)/ln(ΔTa/ΔTb) ΔTa = Th,in – Tc,out = 200 – 90 = 110 ºC ΔTb = Th,out – Tc,in = 100 – 20 = 80 ºC F * LMTD = (0.98)*(110 – 80)/ln(110/80) = 92.32 ºC Heat transfer rate is given by q = UA*F*LMTD = (300 W/m2-K)*(12 m2)*(92.32 C) = 332356 W (ΔK = ΔC) (counterflow HX was assumed) 8.12 Water entering a shell-and-tube heat exchanger is at 35 ºC is to be heated to 75 ºC by an oil. The oil enters at 110 ºC and leaves at 75 ºC. The heat exchanger is arranged for counterflow with water making one shell pass and the oil two tube passes. If the water flow rate is 68 kg/min and the overall heat transfer coefficient is estimated from Table 8.1 to be 320 W/m2-K, calculate the required heat exchanger area. Solution: q = UA*F*LMTD Using Figure 8.12 for two tube passes P = (Tt,out – Tt,in)/(Ts,in – Tt,in) = (75 – 110)/(35 – 110) = 35/75 = 0.4667 Z = (mdottcpt)/(mdotscps) = (Ts,in – Ts,out)/(Tt,out – Tt,in) = (35 – 75)/(75 – 110) = 1.143 Figure 8.12 gives F = 0.8 ΔTa = Th,in – Tc,out = 110 – 75 = 35 ºC ΔTb = Th,out – Tc,in = 75 – 35 = 40 ºC F * LMTD = F * (ΔTa – ΔTb)/ln(ΔTa/ΔTb) = 0.80*(35 – 40)/ln(35/40) = 29.96 ºC Heat transfer – multiple pass – need to solve for A with q = UA*F*LMTD (equation 1) For the water mdot = 68 kg/min, at Tmean = (35 + 75)/2 = 55 ºC (use 50 ºC) cp = 4178 J/kg-K qwater = mdot*cp*ΔT = (68 kg/min)*(1 min/60 s)*(4178 J/kg-K)*(40 K) = 189402.67 W equate to equation 1: 189402.67 W = (320 W/m2-K)*A*(29.96 K) gives A = 19.8 m2 Chapter 9 – Heat Transfer by Radiation 9.3. Determine the total average hemispherical emittance and the emissive power of a surface which has a spectral hemispherical emittance of 0.8 at wavelengths less than 1.5 μm, 0.6 from 1.5 to 2.5 μm, and 0.4 at wavelengths longer than 2.5 μm. The surface temperature is 1111 K.
