When used to boil water, the surface of the bottom exposed to the water is nominally at 110°C and heat is transferred from the stove to the pan at a rate of 1200 W. What is the temperature of the surface in contact with the stove for each of the two materials? Aluminum: T = i °℃ Copper: T = °℃ i
40°C water with hwater = 800 W/m² K is flowing in a Pyrex tube. The inner and outer diameters of the tube are 25 mm and 35 mm. A thin metallic heater element bonded to the outer surface of the tube is being used to heat the water by transferring 600 W/m of thermal energy to the water flowing in the tube. The Pyrex tube and heater are covered with a 10-mm thick layer of foam insulation. The outer surface of the foam insulation is exposed to air at T = -5°C with hair = 12 W/m².K. The heater = air element must generate more than 600 W/m, because part of the heat being generated is lost to the air surrounding the foam insulation. Assume kp = 1.30 W/m K for Pyrex and k = 0.026 W/m K for the foam insulation. a) Find the temperature of the heater element needed to transfer 600 W/m of thermal energy to the water in the tube. b) Find the total rate at which the heater element must generate thermal energy.
