When is the efficiency of a fin (η) maximum?
The annealing furnace for continuous bar stock is open at the ends and has interior dimensions of 0.6 m × 0.6 m × 1.5 m long with a wall 0.3 m thick all around. Calculate the shape factor for the furnace.
If we have the value of convective heat transfer coefficient, what other value is required to find the critical thickness of insulation for a spherical object?
A steel plate with a thickness of 5 cm and a thermal conductivity of 20 W/m⋅K is subjected to a uniform heat flux of 800 W/m² on one surface A. The other surface B transfers heat to the ambient air at 25°C with a heat transfer coefficient of 80 W/m²⋅K. What is the temperature of surface B?
