Consider a person who is trying to keep cool on a hot summer day by turning a fan on and exposing his entire body to air flow. The air temperature is 40°C and the fan is blowing air at a velocity of 2 m/s. If the person is doing light work and generating sensible heat at a rate of 300 kJ/h, determine the average temperature of the outer surface (skin or clothing) of the person. The average human body can be treated as a 30-cm-diameter cylinder with an exposed surface area of 1.8 m2 . Disregard any heat transfer by radiation. What would your answer be if the air velocity were doubled? Evaluate the air properties at 40°C.

It’s a hot, 100°F (38°C), summer day and you are going for a picnic. To keep your food and drinks cold, you bring a white Styrofoam cooler packed with ice and put it in the shade. Assuming there is enough ice in the cooler that the inside temperature remains at 0°C, will your cooler receive more heat from radiation or conduction? The cooler is made out of 2 cm thick layer of Styrofoam with a thermal conductivity of 0.010 J/(s...

Consider a poor lost soul walking at 5 km/h on a hot day in the desert, wearing only a bathing suit. This person's skin temperature tends to rise due to four mechanisms: (i) energy is generated by metabolic reactions in the body at a rate of 300 W , and almost all of this energy is converted to heat that flows to the skin; (ii) heat is delivered to the skin by convection from the outside air at a rate...

4.1A clothed or unclothed person feels comfortable when the skin temperature is about 33oC. Consider an average man wearing summer clothes whose thermal resistance is 0.109 m2 ? oC/W. The man feels very comfortable while standing in a room maintained at 20oC. If this man were to stand in that room unclothed, determine the temperature at which the room must be maintained for him to feel thermally comfortable. Assume the latent heat loss from the person to remain the same....

1. An oven chimney is made of brick with a heat transmission coefficient 1.1 W/mK 10 cm thick. Since the shaft exterior radiation beam coefficient is 0.8 and the flue gas temperature is 350°C, the external ambient temperature is 25°C and the outer ambient heat transport coefficient is 20 W/m2K; a) Calculate the shaft exterior temperature. b) In order to reduce the risk of burn injury that may occur in the body, the shaft is asked to be below 55°Cve...
