    Numerical Problems

    Heat Transfer (Convection-Part-II)

    Instructions:
    Refer the property tables from any textbook for property values of the working fluid required in the
    problems

    1. A 2-m*3-m flat plate is suspended in a room and is subjected to air flow parallel to its
    surfaces along its 3-m-long side. The free stream temperature and velocity of air are 20°C and
    7 m/s. The total drag force acting on the plate is measured to be 0.86 N. Determine the
    average convection heat transfer coefficient for the plate.

    2. The flow of oil in a journal bearing can be approximated as parallel flow between two large
    plates with one plate moving and the other stationary. Such flows are known as Couette flow.
    Consider two large isothermal plates separated by 2-mm-thick oil film. The upper plates move
    at a constant velocity of 12 m/s, while the lower plate is stationary. Both plates are maintained
    at 20°C. (a) Obtain relations for the velocity and temperature distributions in the oil.
    (b) Determine the maximum temperature in the oil and the heat flux from the oil to each plate

    3. Oil used for lubrication at 225°C flows over a flat plate of length 20 meters with a velocity of
    20 m/s whose temperature is 35°C. Calculate the total drag force.
    4. The local atmospheric pressure in Shimla (elevation 1610 m), is 83.4 kPa. Air at this pressure
    and 20°C flows with a velocity of 8 m/s over a 1.5 m*6 m flat plate whose temperature is
    140°C (Fig. 7-13). Determine the rate of heat transfer from the plate if the air flows parallel to
    the (a) 6-m-long side and (b) the 1.5-m side.
    5. Experimental tests using air as the working fluid are conducted on a portion of the turbine
    blade shown in the sketch. The heat flux to the blade at a particular point (x*) on the surface
    is measured to be q’’ = 95,000 W/m2. To maintain a steady-state surface temperature of 800
    C, heat transferred to the blade is removed by circulating a coolant inside the blade.
    1. Determine the heat flux to the blade at x* if its temperature is reduced to Ts,1 = 700 C by
    increasing the coolant flow.
    2. Determine the heat flux at the same dimensionless location x* for a similar turbine blade
    having a chord length of L = 80 mm, when the blade operates in an airflow at T∞ =1150 C
    and V = 80 m/s, with Ts= 800 C.

    6. The average individual produces thermal energy at a rate of 84 watts at a state of rest. Given
    the assumption that one-quarter of the heat is dissipated from the head, and neglecting the
    effects of radiation, the objective is to calculate the average surface temperature of the
    uncovered head when exposed to winds with a temperature of 10°C and a velocity of 35
    km/h. The dimensions of the head can be estimated as that of a sphere with a diameter of
    approximately 30 centimetres.
    7. An electrical transmission line has a diameter of 6 mm and is responsible for carrying an
    electric current of 50 A. Additionally, it possesses a resistance of 0.002 Ω/m. The objective is
    to ascertain the surface temperature of the wire in windy conditions, given an air temperature
    of 10°C and a wind speed of 40 km/h across the transmission line.
