QUESTION 1
1.1 A double-glazed, glass fire screen is inserted between a wood-burning fireplace and
the interior of a room as shown in Fig. Q1. The screen consists of two vertical glass plates
that are separated by a space through which room air may flow (the space is open at the
top and bottom). Identify the heat transfer processes associated with the fire screen. (14)
Fig. Q1: Fireplace cavity separated from room air by two glass plates, open at both ends.
1.2 A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal
W
conductivity of k g = 1.4 m.K. If the inner and outer surface temperatures of the glass are
[18]
QUESTION 2
In a power plant, pipes transporting superheated vapor are very common. Superheated
vapor is flowing at a rate of 0.3 kg/s inside a pipe 5 cm in diameter and 10 m in length.
The pipe is located in a power plant at 20°C and has a uniform surface temperature of
100°C. If the temperature drop between the inlet and exit of the pipe is 30°C, and the
2
specific heat of the vapor is 2190 J/kg·K, determine the heat transfer coefficient as a
result of convection between the pipe surface and the surroundings.

QUESTION 3
3.1 What is a blackbody? How do real bodies differ from blackbodies? (2)
3.2 Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or
cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but
comfortable in the summer. Provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with
supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at
20 °C throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27 °C and 14 °C
in the summer and winter, respectively. The exposed surface of a person in the room may
be assumed to be at a temperature of 32 °C throughout the year and to have an emissivity
of 0.90. The coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the
person and the room air is approximately 2 W/m2.K while Stefan-Boltzmann constant is
5.67 ×10−8 W/m2⋅K4. (8)
[10]
QUESTION 4
3
If the wall separates refrigerated air at 𝑇𝑇∞,1 = 4℃ from ambient air at 𝑇𝑇∞,𝑜𝑜 = 25℃,
4.1 draw the schematics showing the thermal resistance network between the outside
and the refrigerated space, and (2)
4.2 calculate the heat gain per unit surface area if the coefficients associated with natural
convection at the inner and outer surfaces are approximated as hi = ho = 5 W/m2.K. (6)
[8]
QUESTION 5
A very long rectangular fin is attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the
end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e., 20 °C. Its width is 5.5 cm;
thickness is 1 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m.K; and the base temperature is 40
°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2.K.
Estimate,
5.1 the fin temperature at a distance of 5 cm from the base, and (5)
5.2 the rate of heat loss from the entire fin. (3)
