    This document discusses heat transfer through a spherical ball and boundary layer thickness calculations. It provides an example of calculating the Biot number for a spherical ball to determine if conduction resistance is less than convection resistance at the surface. It then discusses calculating the thermal boundary layer thickness for two fluids based on given Reynolds number, Prandtl number, and Nusselt number values. The thickness is calculated to be the same for both fluids based on the relationships between these parameters.

    CHAP 7 HEAT TRANSFER PAGE 319

    SOL 7.7 Option (D) is correct.


    Given : D = 12 mm = 12 # 10−3 m , h = 5 W/m2 K , k = 20 W/m K
    −3
    For spherical ball, = 12 # 10 = 2 # 10−3 m

    l = volume = 3 2 =D
    surface area 4πR 6
    The non-dimensional factor (hl/k) is called Biot Number. It gives an
    indication of the ratio of internal (conduction) resistance to the surface
    (convection) resistance.
    A small value of Bi implies that the system has a small conduction resistance
    i.e., relatively small temperature gradient or the existence of a practically
    uniform temperature within the system.
    −3
    Biot Number, Bi = hl = 5 # 2 # 10 = 0.0005
    k 20
    Since, Value of Biot Number is very less. Hence, conduction resistance is
    much less than convection resistance.

    SOL 7.8 Option (A) is correct.

    b δTh l = 2 and b δTh l = 2
    Given : 1
    P Q

    Here, δH "Thickness of laminar hydrodynamic boundary layer


    And δTh "Thickness of thermal boundary layer
    (Re) P = (Re)Q = 10 4
    (Pr) P = 1
    8
    (Nu) P = 35
    For thermal boundary layer prandtl Number is given by, (For fluid Q)
    (Pr)Q1/3 = b δH l = 2
    δTh Q
    (Pr)Q = (2) 3 = 8
    For laminar boundary layer on flat plate, relation between Reynolds Number,
    Prandtl Number and Nusselt Number is given by,
    Nu = hl = (Re) 1/2 (Pr) 1/3
    k
    Since, Reynolds Number is same for both P and Q .
    (Nu) P (Pr) 1P/3
    So, =
    (Nu)Q (Pr)Q1/3
    (Pr)Q1/3 (8) 1/3 2
    (Nu)Q = # (Nu) = 1/3 # (35) = 35
