Tutorial 2 (b)
1. A person extends his uncovered arms into the windy air outside at 10 0C
and 30km/h in order to feel nature closely. Initially, the skin temperature
of the arm is 300C. Treating the arm as a 0.6-m-long and 7-cm-diameter
cylinder, determine the rate of heat loss from the arm.(19-38)
(112.1 W)
2. A long 8-cm-diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is
900C passes through some open area that is not protected against the
winds. Determine the rate of heat loss from the pipe per unit of its length
when the air is at 1 atm pressure and 70C and the wind is blowing across
the pipe at a velocity of 50 km/h.(19-35)
(1130W/m)
3. A 0.4 W cylindrical electronic component with diameter 0.3 cm and length
1.8 cm and mounted on a circuit board is cooled by air flowing across it at
a velocity of 150 m/min. If the air temperature is 40 0C, determine the
surface temperature of the component. Given;(19-53)

4. During a cold winter day, wind at 55km/h is blowing parallel to a 4-mhigh and 10-m-long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5 0C and the
surface temperature of the wall is 120C, determine the rate of heat loss
from that wall by convection. What would your answer be if the wind
velocity was doubled?(19-16)

5. Water at 43.3 0C flows over a large plate at a velocity of 30 cm/s. The plate
is 1.0 m long (in the flow direction), and its surface is maintained at a
uniform temperature of 10 0C. Calculate the steady rate of heat transfer per
unit width of the plate.
6. Water flow over a flat plate with a velocity of 2 ms-1. The plate is at a
uniform temperature of 90C and the water temperature is 10C. For a
laminar flow, estimate the rate of heat transfer for the entire plate when
the length of the plate is 13.9 cm and 100 cm wide? The properties of water
at 50C are:
