Question

Hot air at 80C80^{\circ} \mathrm{C} is blown over a 2m×4m2-m \times 4-m flat surface at 30C.30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. If the average convection heat transfer coefficient is 55W/m2K,55 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{K}, determine the rate of heat transfer from the air to the plate, in kW.

1 of 3

Equation for the rate of heat transfer\textbf{rate of heat transfer} between a solid and a fluid is:

Q˙=hAs(TsT)\begin{equation*} \dot{Q}=h A_s \left ( T_s-T_{\infty} \right ) \end{equation*}

From given dimensions of the plate we can calculate the needed area AsA_s:

As=abAs=2m4mAs=8m2\begin{align*} A_s&=a \cdot b \\ A_s&=2 \mathrm{m} \cdot 4 \mathrm{m} \\ A_s&= \color{#4257b2}{8 \mathrm{m^2}} \end{align*}

We are also given the surface temperature\textbf{surface temperature} Ts=30oCT_s=30\mathrm{^o C}, air temperature\textbf{air temperature}

T=80oCT_{\infty} =80\mathrm{^o C} and the average heat transfer coefficient\textbf{average heat transfer coefficient} h=55Wm2Kh=55 \mathrm{\frac{W}{m^2 K}}.
