Determine (a) the rate of heat loss through the roof that i night and (b) the cost of that heat loss to the home owner if the cost of elec: Etricity is $0.08/KWh. SOLUTION. The inner and auter surfaces of the flat concrete roof of an electri cally heated home are maintained at specified temperatures during a night. The FIGURE 1-23 heat loss through the roof and its cost that night are to be determined.

Properties The thermal conductivity of the roof is given to be k = 0.8 Wim - °C. Analysis (a) Noting that heat transfer through the roof is by conduction and the area of the roof is A= 6 m x 8m = 48 m?, the steady rate of heat trans- fer through the roof is determined to be T,-T, (as -4y°c 0 = kA] = 08 Wim. °C)(48 m") S55 1690 W = 1.69 kW (b) The amount of heat lost through the roof during a 10-hour period and its cost are determined from FIGURE 1-24 ‘Schematic for Example 1-5. @ = 6 Ar= (1.69 KW)(AOh) = 16.9 kWh Cost = (Amount of energy)(Unit cost of energy) = (16.9 kWh)($0.08KWh) = $1.35 Discussion The cost to the home owner of the heat loss thraugh the roof that night was $1.35. The total heating bill of the house will be much larger since the heat losses through the walls are not considered in these calculations. Thermal Conductivity ‘We have seen that different materials store heat differently, and we have de- fined the property specific heat C, as a measure of a materials ability to store thermal energy. For example, C,'= 4.18 ki/kg + °C for water and C, = 0.45 Ki/kg - °C for iron at room temperature, which indicates that water Gan store most 10 times the energy that iron can per unit mass. Likewise, the thermal conductivity kis a measure of a material’ ability to conduct heat. For exam: ple, k = 0.608 Wim » °C for water and & = 80.2 W/m «°C for iron at room \perature, which indicates that iron conducts heat more than 100 ster than water can. Thus we say that water is 4 poor heat conductor relative to iron, although water is an excellent medium to store thermal energy. Equation 1-22 for the rate of conduction heat transfer under stead y condi tions can also be viewed as the defining equation for thermal conductivity “Thus the thermal conductivity of lerial can be defined as the rate of ry Poenius sain siecoe ates eee ocae dh heat transfer since it is essentially heat conduction in the presence of fluid mo- ‘orced convection of gases 25-250 tion, But we still need to give this combined phenomenon a name, unless we orced convection are willing to keep referring to it as “conduction with fluid motion.” Thus, it of liquids 50-20,000 is practical to recognize convection as a separate heat transfer mechanism de- oiling and he valid arguments to the contrary condensation _-2500-100,000 Util by 0.176 to convert to Btumh FY °F EXAMPLE 1-6 Measuring Convection Heat Transfer Co nt ‘A 2-m-long, 0.3-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room at 15°C, as ‘shown in Fig. 1-33. Heat is generated in the wire as a result of resistance heat. ing, and the surface temperature af the wire is measured to be 152°C in steady > ACP Ney operation. Also, the voltage drop and electric current through the wire are mea- sured to be 60 V and 1.5 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation, determine the convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the outer surface af the wire and the air in the room. FIGURE 1-33 for Example 1-8, SOLUTION The convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer from an electrically heated wire to air is to be determined by measuring temperatures when steady operating conditions are reached and the electric power consumed. Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist since the temperature read- ings do not change with time. 2 Radiation heat transfer is negligible Analysis When steady operating conditions are reached, the rate of heat loss from the wire will equal the rate of heat generation in the wire as a result of resistance heating. That i, © = Erneaus = VI = (60 VVL5A) = 90W The surface area of the wire is A, = DL = (0.003 m)(2 m) = 0.01885 m? Newton's law of cooling for convection heat transfer is expressed as Gos = HA, (T, = To) Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation and thus assuming all the heat loss from the wire to accur by convection, the convection heat transfer coefficient is determined to be 9, 20 W. AMT, =F) ~ COOLRRS me\CAS 34.9 Wim? h IC Discussion Note that the simple setup described above can be used to deter- mine the average heat transfer coefficients from a variety of surfaces in air, Also, heat transfer by radiation can be eliminated by keeping the surrounding surfaces at the temperature of the wire 1-8 » RADIATION Radiation is the energy emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves (or photons) as a result of the changes in the electronic configurations of the atoms or molecules. Unlike conduction and convection, the transfer of energy by radiation docs not require the presence of an intervening medium. In fact, energy transfer by radiation is fastest (at the speed of light) and it suffers no attenuation in a vacuum. This is how the energy of the sun reaches the earth, In heat transfer studies we are interested in thermal radiation, which is the form of radiation emitted by bodies because of their temperature. It differs from other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as x-ray's, gamma rays, radio waves, and television waves that are not related to temper- ature. All bodies at a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation. Radiation is a volumetric phenomenon, and all solids, liquids, and gases emit, absorb, or transmit radiation to varying degrees. However, radiation is y Pract [example 1-10 Heat Loss from a Person © Consider a person standing in a breezy room at 20°C. Determine the total rate fz of heat transfer from this person if the exposed surface area and the average f= outer surface temperature of the person are 1.6 m? and 29°C, respectively, and la the convection heat transfer coefficient is 6 Wim? - °C (Fig. 1-39). . SOLUTION The total rate of heat transfer from a person by both convection and radiation to the surrounding air and surfaces at specified temperatures is to be determined Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 The person is completely ‘surrounded by the interior surfaces of the room, 3 The surrounding surfaces are at the same temperature as the air in the room. 4 Heat conduction to the floor through the feet is negligible Properties The emissivity of a person is « = 0.95 (Table 1-6). ‘Analysis The heat transfer between the person and the air in the room will be by convection (instead of conduction) since it is conceivable that the air in the Vicinity of the skin or clathing will warm up and rise as a result of heat transfer from the body, initiating natural convection currents. It appears that the exper imentally determined value for the rate of convection heat transfer in this case is 6 W per unit surface area (m*) per unit temperature difference (in K or °C) between the person and the air away from the person. Thus, the rate of convec: tion heat transfer from the person to the air in the room is Qooey = hA, (T, ~ T.) = (6 Wim’ + *C)(1.6 m°\(29 = 20)°C = 864W The person will also lose heat by radiation to the surrounding wall surfaces. We take the temperature of the surfaces of the walls, ceiling, and floor to be equal to the air temperature in this case for simplicity, but we recognize that this does not need to be the case. These surfaces may be at a higher or lower temperature than the average temperature of the room air, depending on the ‘utdoor conditions and the structure of the walls. Considering that air does nat intervene with radiation and the person is completely enclosed by the sur rounding surfaces, the net rate of radiation heat transfer from the person to the surrounding walls, ceiling, and floor is Gos = e0A, (T!- Th) = (0.95)(5.67 x 10-* Wim? - K9(1.6 me) X [(29 + 273)* ~ (20 + 273)41 K’ =817W Note that we must use absolute temperatures in radiation calculations. Also note that we used the emissivity value for the skin and clothing at room tem: perature since the emissivity is not expected to change significantly at a slightly higher temperature Then the rate of total heat transfer from the body is determined by adding these two quantities: Gres = Gow + Ona = (864 + 81.7) W= 68.1. W Room we 20¢ asa Crt Gent FIGURE 1-39 the person described in Example 1-10, Prasad Discussion The heat transfer would be much higher if the person were not Gressed since the exposed surface temperature wauld be higher. Thus, an im- portant function of the clothes is to serve as a barrier against heat transfer, In these calculations, heat transfer through the feet to the floor by conduc tion, which is usually very small, is neglected, Heat transfer from the skin by perspiration, which is the dominant mode of heat transfer in hot environments, is not considered here. | exampLe 1-11 Heat Transfer between Two Isothermal Plates — E consider steady heat transfer between two large parallel plates at constant [f temperatures of T, = 300 K and T, = 200 K that are L = 1 cm apart, as shown fm in Fig. 1-40. Assuming the surfaces to be black (emissivity « = 1), determine este It the rate of heat transfer between the plates per unit surface area assuming the § gap between the plates is (a) filled with atmospheric air, (b) evacuated, (c) filled © with urethane insulation, and (a) filled with superinsulation that has an appar- -40 Erent thermal conductivity of 0.00002 Wim - °C. for Example 1-11 SOLUTION The total rate of heat transfer between two large parallel plates at specified temperatures is to be determined for four different cases. Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 There are no natural con- vection currents in the air between the plates. 3 The surfaces are black and thus e = 1. Properties The thermal conductivity at the average temperature of 250 K is k = 0.0219 Wim - °C for air (Table A-11), 0.026 W/m - °C for urethane insula- tion (Table A-6), and 0.00002 W/m - °C for the superinsulation. Analysis (a) The rates of conduction and radiation heat transfer between the plates through the air layer are 19W Qiu = eo A(T#- TY) = (1(5.67 10-8 Wim? - K')(1 m?)[(300 K)* ~ (200 K)*] = 368 W Therefore, Grout = Qeomt + Qus = 219 + 368 = 587 W The heat transfer rate in reality will be higher because of the natural convection currents that are likely to occur in the air space between the plates. (b) When the air space between the plates is evacuated, there will be no con- duction or convection, and the only heat transfer between the plates will be by radiation. Therefore, Qvei = Pras = 368 W (c) An opaque solid material placed between two plates blocks direct radiation heat transfer between the plates.
