    HEAT TRANSFER QUALIFYING EXAM


    January 2015

    One book allowed

    Answer all questions

    All questions have equal weight

    TIME: 3.0 hrs

    Prepared by : Profs. A. Bénard and N. Wright


    1. Water at 5 °C enters a pipe at a uniform velocity of 1 m s-1. Steam at 17.9
    bar condenses on the outside of the pipe. The pipe is 15 m long. It is made of
    carbon steel and with an inside diameter of 2 cm and an outside diameters of
    3 cm.
    a. Calculate the temperature of the water at the exit of the pipe.
    b. Determine the heat transfer to the pipe.
    c. Calculate the rate of steam condensation on the pipe.
    2. Two slabs are in perfect thermal contact. Slab A is 10 cm thick, has
    conductivity of 20 W m-1 °C-1, and heat generation of 5000 W m-3. Slab B is
    5 cm thick and has thermal conductivity of 2 W m-1 °C-1. The temperature on
    the outside surface (x=0) of slab A is 20 °C. The temperature at the outside
    edge of slab B (x = 15 cm) is 0 °C. Assume that the area of the slabs (i.e.,
    normal to the x-direction) is 1 m x 1 m.
    a. Calculate the temperature at the interface plane between slab A and
    slab B.
    b. Calculate the combined heat loss from the slabs (neglecting the
    edges).
    3. Liquid nitrogen is stored in a dewar made of two concentric spheres with the
    space between them evacuated. The inner sphere has an outside diameter of
    1 m and the space between the two sphere is 0.1m. The surfaces of both
    spheres are gray with an emissivity of 0.2. If the saturation temperature for
    nitrogen at atmospheric pressure is 78K and its latent heat of vaporization is
    2x105 J/kg, find the boil-off rate if the outer sphere is at 300K
    4. Consider a 20 cm-diameter spherical ball at 500K suspended in air at 300K.
    You would like to study heat transfer by radiation and convection for this
    sphere by answering the following questions. Use the following properties
    for air at 400K:
      0.774kg / m3 , c p  1021J / kgK ,  32.39 106 m2 / s, k  0.037W / mK ,
      47.2 106 m2 / s, Pr  0.7

    a) The sphere is covered with an aluminum paint with a hemispherical


    emissivity of approximately 0.4 at a wavelength below 10  m and 0.8 at
    long wavelengths. What is the total emissivity of this surface at 500K?
    b) Find the net radiation heat flux if the surrounding has a temperature of
    300K. You can assume that the surface is “gray”.

    c) If we neglected the surrounding irradiation, how would this change the


    radiation heat flux found in a)?
    d) Find the convective heat flux if the air is quiescent (or still) far from the
    sphere (state clearly what correlation was used and what is your heat transfer
    coefficient computed).

    e) Compare the ratio of energy loss by radiation to energy loss by convection.
