PAGE 316 HEAT TRANSFER CHAP 7

SOLUTION

SOL 7.1 Option (C) is correct.

The sum of the absorbed, reflected and transmitted radiation be equal to
α+ρ+τ = 1
α = Absorpivity, ρ = Reflectivity , τ = Transmissivity
For an opaque surfaces such as solids and liquids
τ = 0,
Thus, α+ρ = 1

SOL 7.2 Option (A) is correct.

The performance of the fins is judged on the basis of the enhancement in
heat transfer area relative to the no fin case. The fin effectiveness
εfin = Heat transfer rate from the fin of base area
Heat transfer rate from the surface area
When determining the rate of heat transfer from a finned surface, we must
consider the unfinned portion of the surface as well as the fins and number
of fins.
Thin and closed spaced fin configuration, the unfinned portion of surface is
reduced and number of fins is increased. Hence the fin effectiveness will be
maximum for thin and closely spaced fins.

SOL 7.3 Option (D) is correct.

According to the reciprocity relation.
A1 F12 = A2 F21
Which yields F21 = A1 # F12 = πD1 L # 1 = b D1 l
A2 πD 2 L D2
F11 = 0 since no radiation leaving surface 1 and strikes 1
F12 = 1, since all radiation leaving surface 1 and strikes 2
The view factor F22 is determined by applying summation rule to surface 2,
F21 + F22 = 1
Thus F22 = 1 − F21 = 1 − b D1 l
D2

SOL 7.4 Option (C) is correct.

Given : th1 = 80cC , tc1 = 30cC , m
o h = 0.5 kg/ sec , m
oc = 2.09 kg/ sec., ε = 0.8
