Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 1

In respect to free convection over a vertical flat plate, the Nusselt number for laminar and turbulent flows varies respectively with Grashoff number G r as 

Detailed Solution for Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 1

Explanation: It varies as G r1/4 and G r1/3.

Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 2

Experimental results indicate that the local heat transfer coefficient h g for flow over a flat plate with an extremely rough surface is approximated by the relation
x = a x -0.12
Where a is a constant coefficient and x is distance from the leading edge of the plate. What is the relation between this local heat transfer coefficient and the average heat transfer coefficient for a plate of length x? 

Detailed Solution for Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 2

Explanation: h = 1.136 a x -0.12 = 1.136 h x.

Detailed Solution for Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 5

Explanation: Q 1/Q 2 = h l/h 2 l = 0.438.

Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 6

A spherical heater of 20 cm diameter and at 60 degree Celsius is immersed in a tank of water at 20 degree Celsius. Determine the value of convective heat transfer coefficient 

Detailed Solution for Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 6

Explanation: h = Nusselt number (k/d) = 458.32 W/mK.

Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 7

 A steam pipe 50 mm diameter and 2.5 m long has been placed horizontally and exposed to still air at 25 degree Celsius. If the pipe wall temperature is 295 degree Celsius, determine the rate of heat loss. At the mean temperature difference of 160 degree Celsius, the thermo-physical properties of air are
k =3.64 * 10 -2 W/m K
v =30.09 * 10 -6 m2/s
r =0.682
Β =1/160 + 273 = 2.31 * 10 -3 per K

Explanation: Q = h A d t, where h = 14.60 k/D.

Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 8

 Consider the above problem, find out the Grashof number 

Detailed Solution for Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 8

Explanation: Grashoff number = D 3 P 2 (β g d t)/µ 2.

Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 9

Estimate the heat transfer from a 40 W incandescent bulb at 125 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius in quiescent air. Approximate the bulb as a 50 mm diameter sphere. The approximate correlation for the convection coefficient is
Nu = 0.60 (Gr Pr) 0.25
Where the different parameters are evaluated at the mean film temperature, and characteristics length is the diameter of the sphere

Detailed Solution for Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 9

Explanation: Q = h A d t = 7.71 W.

Test: Correlations For Free Convection - Question 10
