    ISH 202 E - Introduction to Heat Transfer - Fall 2021

    Homework 1 Due Date : October 28, 2021

    1. The boiling temperature of oxygen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm) is -183ºC.
    Therefore, oxygen is used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of
    liquid oxygen in a tank open to the atmosphere remains constant at -183ºC until the liquid
    oxygen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank results in the evaporation of
    some liquid oxygen, which has a heat of vaporization of 213 kJ/kg and a density of 1140
    kg/m3 at 1 atm. Consider a 4 m diameter spherical tank initially filled with liquid oxygen at
    1 atm and -183ºC. The tank is exosed to 20ºC ambient ait with a heat transfer coefficient of
    25 W/m2. ºC. The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical tank is observed to be almost
    the same as the temperature of the oxygen inside. Disregarding any radiation heat
    exchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid oxygen in the tank as a result of
    the heat transfer from the ambient air.

    2. 3 kW of heat transfer occurs over an insulation material with a cross-sectional area of 10


    m2 and a thickness of 2.5 cm. Since the temperature of the inner surface is 415 ºC and the
    thermal conductivity of the material is 0.2 W/ m.K, calculate the temperature of the outer
    surface.
    3. A hair dryer basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small
    fan pulls the air in and forces it to flow over the resistors where it is heated. Air enters a
    1200 W hair dryer at 100 kPa and 22°C, and leaves at 47°C. The cross-sectional area of the
    hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm2. Neglecting the power consumed by the fan and the heat
    losses through the walls of the hair dryer, determine,
    a . The volume flow rate of air at the inlet and,
    b. The velocity of the air at the exit.

    4. Consider the base plate of an 800 W heater with a thickness of L=0.6 cm, base area of
    A=160 cm2, and thermal conductivity of k=20 W/m.C. The inner surface of the base plate
    is subjected to uniform heat flux generated by the resistance heaters inside. When steady
    operating conditions are reached, the outer surface temperature of the plate is measured to
    be 85C. Disregarding any heat loss through the upper part of the heater,

    a. Express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional
    heat conduction through the plate,
    b. Obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the base plate by solving the
    differential equation, and
    c. Evaluate the inner surface temperature.
