Free Convection

Lect.Abeer
1- A 1-m-square vertical plate is heated to 300◦C and
placed in room air at 25◦C. Calculate the heat loss
from one side of the plate.
2- A vertical cylinder 1.8 m high and 7.5 cm in diameter is maintained at a
temperature of 93◦C in an atmospheric environment of 30◦C. Calculate the heat
lost by free convection from this cylinder. For this calculation the cylinder may be
treated as a vertical flat plate.
3- A 0.3-m-square vertical plate is maintained at 55◦C and exposed to room
air at 1 atm and 20◦C. Calculate the heat lost from both sides of the plate.
4-The top surface of a 10-by-10-m horizontal plate is maintained at 25◦C
and exposed to room temperature at 28◦C. Estimate the heat transfer
5- What vertical distance is necessary to produce a Rayleigh number of
10^12 in air at standard conditions and ΔT = 10◦C?
6- A horizontal heating rod having a diameter of 3.0 cm and a length of 1 m is
placed in a pool of saturated liquid ammonia at 20◦C. The heater is maintained
at a constant surface temperature of 70◦C. Calculate the heat-transfer rate.
