mention similarities, and differences in types where applicable;
(a) One-term appoximation (2 Marks)
(b) Heisler charts (2 Marks)
(c) No-slip condition (2 Marks)
(d) Preservation method for different types of foods (3 Marks)
(e) Convections (1 Marks)

QUESTION 2 [20 MARKS]

A plane wall with surface temperature of 300 °C is attached with straight aluminum
triangular fins. The fins are exposed to an ambient air condition of 25 °C and the
convection heat transfer coefficient is 25 W/m2 K. Each fin has a length of 55 mm,
a base of 4 mm thick and a width of 110 mm.
(a) Sketch the fin (3 Marks)
(b) Determine the efficiency, heat transfer rate, and effectiveness of each fin

(10 Marks)
(c) Determine the increase in the rate of heat transfer per m2 surface area as a
result of attaching fins. Assume there are 100 fins per m 2 surface area

(7 Marks)

An experiment is to be conducted to determine heat transfer coefficient on the

surfaces of tomatoes that are placed in cold water at 7 °C. The tomatoes (thermal
conductivity = 0.59 W/m K, thermal diffusivity = 0.14 1 x 106 m2 /s, density =
999 kg/m', specific heat = 3.99 kJ/kg K) with an initial uniform temperature of 30
°C. After a period of 2 hours, the temperatures at the center and the surface of the

tomatoes are measured to be 10.0 °C and 7.1 °C, respectively. Determine the heat
transfer coefficient and the amount of heat transfer during this period if there are eight
such tomatoes in water using;
(a) Analytical one-term approximation method
(10 Marks)
(b) Heisler charts (8 Marks)
(c) Compare both method and make a conclusion (2 Marks)

QUESTION 4 [30 MARKS]

A 5 cm diameter shaft rotates at 4500 rpm in a 15 cm long, 8 cm outer diameter cast

iron bearing (thermal conductivity = 70 W/m . K) with a uniform clearance of 0.6
mm filled with lubricating oil at 80 °C. The bearing is cooled externally by a liquid,
and its outer surface is maintained at 40 °C. Disregarding heat conduction through the
shaft and assuming one-dimensional heat transfer;
(a) Sketch the shaft (5 Marks)
(b) Determine the rate of heat transfer to the coolant (10 Marks)
(c) Determine the surface temperature of the shaft (5 Marks)
(d) Determine the mechanical power wasted by the viscous dissipation in oil
(5 Marks)
(e) Determine the (a - d) problem for a clearance of 1 mm (5 Marks)

Figure Q5

The plumbing system of a house involves a 0.5 m section of a plastic pipe (thermal
conductivity = 0.16 W/m K) of inner diameter 2 cm and outer diameter 2.4 cm
exposed to the ambient air. During a cold and windy night, the ambient air
temperature remains at -5 °C for a period of 14 H. The combined convection and
radiation heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the pipe is estimated to be 40
W/m2 K, and the heat of fusion of water is 333.7 kJ/kg.
(a) Determine the heat lost by the water (10 Marks)
(b) Assuming the pipe to contain stationary water initially at 0 °C, determine if the
water in that section of the pipe will completely freeze that night
