The second answer can also be found by dividing the first answer by 2 to account for the doubling
of the thickness of the glass.
2. Hot air at 80C is blown over a 2-m by 4-m flat surface at 30C. If the average convection
heat transfer coefficient is 55 W/m2C, determine the rate of heat transfer from the air to
the plate, in kW. (Problem 1.67 from text.)

3. Consider a person whose exposed surface area is 1.7 m2, emissivity is 0.5, and surface
temperature is 32C. Determine the rate of heat loss from that person by radiation in a
large room having walls at a temperature of (a) 300 K and (b) 280 K. (Problem 1.84 from
text.)
& =1A1(T14 T24). We are given the emissivity, 1 = 0.5, the surface area, A1 =
enclosure (2), Q
1.7 m2, and T1 = 32oC = 305.15 K. We are asked to use two values of T2: 300 K and 280 K. The
heat transfer from these two temperatures are.

4. The inner and outer surfaces of a 25-cm-thick wall in summer are
at 27C and 44C, respectively. (See diagram at right.) The outer
surface of the wall exchanges heat by radiation with surrounding
surfaces at 40C, and convection with ambient air also at 40C
with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 8 W/m2C. Solar
radiation is incident on the surface at a rate of 150 W/ m2. If both
the emissivity and the solar absorptivity of the outer surface are
0.8, determine the effective thermal conductivity of the wall.

This heat transfer is leaving the wall, not going into the wall because the wall temperature is
greater than the surrounding temperatures. Thus the total radiation flux into the wall = 120 W/m2
22.72 W/m2 = 97.28 W/m2
& =hAT.
The convective heat transfer into the wall is found by the equation for convection, Q
Dividing by A gives the heat flux and to get the heat flux into the wall we take the temperature
difference as Tair Touter,wall = 40oC 44oC = 4oC. With the given heat transfer coefficient of 8
W/m2C, we find the heat flux into the wall as

We can now solve the conduction heat transfer equation for the thermal conductivity and apply
the given data (L = 0.25 m and T = 44oC = 27oC = 17oC = 17 K) to find the thermal conductivity.
