Example 4.2
A 25µm-diameter polished-platinum wire 6 mm long is to be used for a hot-wire
anemometer to measure the velocity of 20°C air in the range between 2 and 10 m/s (see below
Fig). Its temperature is to be maintained at 230°C by adjusting the current. Calculate heat
transfer rate required current as a function of air velocity.
Solution
Since the wire is very thin, conduction along it can be neglected; also, the temperature
gradient in the wire at any cross section can be disregarded. At the free stream temperature,
the air has a thermal conductivity of 0.0251 W/m °C and a kinematic viscosity of 1.57 x105
m2/s. At a velocity of 2 m/s the Reynolds number is
νρD uD (2 m/s)(2.5 x 10 -6 m)
Re D = = = = 3.18
µ v 1.57 ×10 −5
The Reynolds number range of interest is therefore 1 to 40, so the correlation equation
from Eq. (4.77) and Table 3.1 is

Neglecting the small variation in Prandtl number from 20° to 230°C, the average
convection heat transfer coefficient as a function of velocity is
h C = 799 U∞0.4 W/m2 °C
q = h As (Ts − T∞ ) = (799 U∞0.4)π(25x10-6)(6x10-3)(230-20)
q= 0.079 U∞0.4 W
Example 4.3
The crankcase of an automobile is approximately 0.6 m long, 0.2 m wide, and 0.1 m
deep. Assuming that the surface temperature of the crankcase is 350 K, estimate the rate of
heat flow from the crankcase to atmospheric air at 276 K at a road speed of 30 m/s. Assume
that the vibration of the engine and the chassis induce the transition from laminar to turbulent
flow so near to the leading edge that, for practical purposes, the boundary layer is turbulent
over the entire surface. Neglect radiation and use for the front and rear surfaces the same
average convection heat transfer coefficient as for the bottom and sides.
A=0.6x0.2+2(0.1x0.6)+2(0.1x0.2)
A= 0.28 m2
Solution
Using the properties of air at 313 K, the Reynolds number is

Re L = = = 1.03 × 10 6
µ 19.123 ×10 −6
Example 4.5
A Wire is placed in a 1 atm air stream at 25°C having a flow velocity of 50 m/s a cross
to the wire. An electric current is passed through the wire, raising its surface temperature to
323K. Calculate the heat loss per unit length for the different geometry of wire: (a) A circular
shape (diameter 2 x 10-3 m ), (b) A square shape (slat 1.5 x 10-3 m).

Example 4.5
A tube bundle in which the water is passed through the tubes, while air is passed in
cross flow over the tubes. Consider a staggered arrangement for which the tube outside
diameter is 16.4 mm and the longitudinal and transverse pitches are SL= 34.3 mm and ST=
31.3 mm. There are seven rows of tubes in the airflow direction and eight tubes per row.
Under typical operating conditions the cylinder surface temperature is at 70° C, while the air
upstream temperature and velocity are 15°C and 6 m/s, respectively. Determine
1- the air-side convection coefficient ?
2- the air-side pressure drop?
Solution
Properties:
Air (T∞ = 15°C): ρ = 1.217 kg/m3, Cp = 1007 J/kg K,
v = 14.82 X 10-6/s, k = 0.0253 W/m K, Pr = 0.710.
Air (Ts = 70°C): Pr = 0.701.
Air (Tf= 43°C): v = 17.4 X 10-6 m2/s, k = 0.0274 W/m K, Pr = 0.705
1- Since SD = [SL2 + (ST/2)2]1/2 = 37.7 mm is greater than (ST + D)/2=24mm, the maximum
velocity occurs on the transverse plane, A1 of Figure 4.11. Hence from Equation 4.26
