Heat Transfer Assignment Problems Set #2 - Sec. 1 – May 22nd, 2019

Q 1. A 1200-W iron is left on the iron board with its base exposed to ambient air at 26°C. The base plate of
the iron has a thickness of L = 0.5 cm, base area of A = 150 cm2, and thermal conductivity of k = 18 W/m·K.
The inner surface of the base plate is subjected to uniform heat flux generated by the resistance heaters
inside. The outer surface of the base plate whose emissivity is ε = 0.7, loses heat by convection to ambient
air with an average heat transfer coefficient of h = 30 W/m2·K as well as by radiation to the surrounding
surfaces at an average temperature of Tsurr = 295 K. Disregarding any heat loss through the upper part of
the iron, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional heat
conduction through the plate, (b) obtain a relation for the temperature of the outer surface of the plate by
solving the differential equation, andoTggEgptTagod@
(c) evaluate the outer surfacetoffs
temperature.

 Q 2. In a manufacturing plant, a quench hardening process is used to treat steel ball bearings (c = 500 J/kg·K,
k = 60 W/m·K, ρ = 7900 kg/m3) of 25 mm in diameter. After being heated to a prescribed temperature, the
steel ball bearings are quenched. Determine the rate of heat loss if the rate of temperature decrease in the
ball bearing at a given instant during the quenching process is 50 K/s.
