An aluminum alloy (2024) plate, heated to a uniform temperature of Ti = 231°C, is allowed to cool while vertically suspended in a room where the ambient air and surroundings are both at 28°C. The plate is 0.4 m square with a thickness of 17 mm and an emissivity of 0.31.
(a) Develop an expression for the time rate of change of the plate temperature, assuming the temperature to be uniform at any time.
(b)Determine the initial rate of cooling (K/s) when the plate temperature is Ti °C.
The production line of a special biscuit at 30 ̊C and 1 atm has a 0.8 X 0.8 (m) square plate. One side of the plate is maintained at a temperature of 100 ̊C, while the other side is insulated.
Determine the rate of heat transfer from the plate by natural convection if the plate (i) Is horizontal with the hot surface facing down; (ii) Is horizontal with the hot surface facing up;
Data: The properties of air at the film temperature are: thermal conductivity, k= 0.0279 W/m.k); kinematic viscosity= 1.815 x 10-5 m2/s; Pr = 0.709
A well-insulated inside room, 6 m wide and 9 m long with a 3 m ceiling height, is to be heated by means of a ceiling panel installation. It is desired to maintain the surface of the floor at a temperature of 27 oC. Determine the necessary ceiling surface temperature to meet this requirement if the floor is to be planed oak, the ceiling is to be painted with an oil paint, and it is estimated that the portion of the heating requirement to be supplied by radiation is 2 500 W. Assume the walls to be nonconducting but reradiating.
