Example 1: Exercise 1:
Incident radiation (G = 1577 W/m2) strikes an object. A loaf of bread having a surface temperature of 373K
The amount of energy absorbed is 472 W/m2 and the is being baked in an oven whose walls and the air are
amount of energy transmitted is 78.8 W/m2. Calculate at 477.4K. The bread moves continuously through the
the value of reflectivity. large oven on an open chain belt conveyor. The
emissivity is estimated as 0.85, and the loaf can be
Example 2: assumed to be a rectangular solid 114.3mm high x
114.3mm wide x 330mm long. Calculate the radiation
heat transfer rate to the bread, assuming that it is
small compared to the oven. Neglecting natural
convection heat transfer.
Homework 1:
A small oxidized horizontal metal tube with an OD of
0.0254m and being 0.61m long with a surface
Example 3: temperature at 588 K is in a very large furnace
enclosure with fire-brick walls and the surrounding
air at 1088 K. The emissivity of the metal tube is 0.60
at 1088 K and 0.46 at 588K. Calculate the heat
transfer to the tube by radiation. Neglect the top and
bottom of cylinder.
Exercise 2:
Recalculate Homework 1 for combined radiation plus
natural convection to the horizontal 0.0254 m tube.
Homework 2:
Example 4: The temperature in a car needs to be maintained at
20oC using air conditioner during a very hot day. The
temperature outside the car was 36oC and convective
heat coefficient inside the car was 60 W/m2.K. Apart
from that, the passenger inside the car with body
temperature of 37oC (body area = 3.7 m2) constantly
releasing energy by radiation that resulted in
temperature increased. If the surface temperature of
the car is assumed at 25oC, and the amount of net heat
Example 5:
flow from the environment to the car was at 200 J/s.
a) If the human body is assumed as black body
and the air was non-absorbing gas, calculate
the amount of heat being radiated away.
b) Calculate the radiation heat transfer
coefficient (hr) and the minimum cooling
effect (q) that need to be supplied by the air
conditioner to maintain the car temperature at
20oC if the actual emissive power of the
human body is 0.6.
