    INSTRUCTION:
    a. Solve the following problems and show your complete solution.
    b. Print this questionnaire and do not write any solutions here. (Just write your name and section)
    c. Show your complete solutions in a legal-size paper.
    d. Submission will be on October 11, 2024 (Friday – 5:00 PM)
    MIDTERM EXAM: October 10, 2023 (Thursday – 13:00 to 15:00), Room 105, 106, and 107 – Seating
    arrangements will be provided the night before the examination.
    1. A hollow spherical iron container with outer diameter 20 cm and thickness 0.4 cm is filled with iced
    water at 0°C. If the outer surface temperature is 5°C, determine the approximate rate of heat
    loss from the sphere, in kW, and the rate at which ice melts in the container. The heat from fusion
    of water is 333.7 kJ/kg.

    (A) Find the heat transfer area


    (B) The rate of heat transfer through the shell by conduction (Use table to identify the thermal
    conductivity)
    (C) Find the mass flow rate of ice if the thickness varies from 0.2 cm to 2 cm. (Use spreadsheet or
    MS Excel to calculate for the mass flow), Graph the result (Thickness vs. mass flow of ice)

    2. A transistor with a height of 0.4 cm and a diameter of 0.6 cm is mounted on a circuit board. The
    transistor is cooled by air flowing over it with an average heat transfer coefficient of 30 W/m2 ·
    °C. If the air temperature is 55°C and the transistor case temperature is not to exceed 70°C,
    determine the amount of power this transistor can dissipate safely. Disregard any heat transfer
    from the transistor base.

    (A) Find the heat transfer area


    (B) The rate of heat transfer rate by convection
    (C) If the heat transfer rate of the transistor case temperature varies from 60 °C to 90 °C. Find
    the heat transfer rate and graph the result. (Use spreadsheet or MS Excel to calculate for the
    mass flow), Graph the result (Thickness vs. mass flow of ice)
    PROBLEM SET No.1
    HEAT TRANSFER MECHANISM

    3. An uninsulated steam pipe passes through a room in which the air and walls are at 25°C. The
    outside diameter of the pipe is 70 mm, and its surface temperature and emissivity are 200°C and
    0.8, respectively. What is the surface emissive power and irradiation? If the coefficient associated
    with free convection heat transfer from the surface to the air is 15 W/m2 - K, what is the rate of
    heat loss from the surface per unit length of pipe?

    (A) Draw a schematic diagram for the scenario


    (B) Surface emissive power and irradiation
    (C) Pipe heat loss per unit length

    4. Humans can control their heat production rate and heat loss rate to maintain a nearly constant
    core temperature of Tc = 37°C under a wide range of environmental conditions. This process is
    called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating heat transfer between a human body
    and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin and fat, with its outer surface exposed to the
    environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, Ti = 35
    °C = 308 K. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L = 3 mm and effective thermal
    conductivity k = 0.3 W/m - K. The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m2 and is dressed in a
    bathing suit. The emissivity of the skin is 0.95.

    (A) When the person is in still air at T∞ = 297 K, what is the skin surface temperature and rate of
    heat loss to the environment? Convection heat transfer to the air is characterized by a free
    convection coefficient of h = 2 W/m2 - K.
    (B) When the person is in water at T∞ = 297 K, what is the skin surface temperature and heat
    loss rate? Heat transfer to the water is characterized by a convection coefficient of h = 200
    W/m2- K
