PROBLEM 1.72 (D) K NOWN: Tungsten Filament Is Heated To 2900 K in An Air-Filled Glass Bulb. F IND: Relevant Heat Transfer Processes. Schematic
72(d)
KNOWN: Tungsten filament is heated to 2900 K in an air-filled glass bulb.
FIND: Relevant heat transfer processes.
SCHEMATIC:
The relevant processes associated with the filament and bulb include:
q rad,f
q conv,f
q rad,g,i
q conv,g,i
Free convection from air to inner glass surface of temperature Tg,i < Ta,i ,
q cond,g
q conv,g,o
q rad,g-sur
Net radiation heat transfer between outer glass surface and surroundings, such
as the walls of a room, of temperature Tsur < Tg,o .
COMMENTS: If the glass bulb is evacuated, no convection is present within the bulb; that
is, q conv,f = q conv,g,i = 0.
