Approximate the human form as an unclothed vertical cylinder of 0.3 m diameter and 1.75 m length with a surface temperature of 30 oC.(a)Calculate the heat loss in a 10 m/s wind at 20 oC.(b)What is the heat loss if the skin is covered with a thin layer of water (i.e., sweat) at 30 oC and the relative humidity of the air is 60 %

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]q=1118.865W[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Diameter of the cylinder [tex]D=0.3m[/tex]

Length of the cylinder [tex]L=1.75m[/tex]

Surface temperature of cylinder [tex]T_s=30 \textdegree C=303k[/tex]

Speed of air [tex]V=10m/s[/tex]

Temperature of air [tex]T=20 \textdegree C[/tex]

Generally the equation for Reynolds number is mathematically given by

[tex]Re_D=\frac{VD}{v}[/tex]

where

[tex]v=15.27*10^-^6[/tex]

[tex]Re_D=\frac{10*0.3}{15.27*10^-^6}[/tex]

[tex]Re_D=1.96*10^5[/tex]

Generally the equation for Nusselt number is mathematically given by

[tex]N_u=0.6(Re_D)^{0.6}(Pr)^{0.37}[/tex]

where

Prandtl number

[tex]Pr=0.71[/tex]

[tex]N_u=0.6(Re_D)^{0.6}(Pr)^{0.37}[/tex]

[tex]N_u=0.6(1.96*10^5)^{0.6}(0.71)^{0.37}[/tex]

[tex]N_u=791.53[/tex]

Generally the equation for convective heat transfer is mathematically given by

[tex]h=Nu \frac{k}{D}[/tex]

where

[tex]k=25.7*10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]h=791.53*\frac{25.7*10^{-3}}{0.3}[/tex]

[tex]h=67.81W/m^2K[/tex]

Generally the equation for surface area of a cylinder is mathematically given by

[tex]A=\pi DL[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi *0.3*1.75[/tex]

[tex]A=1.65m^2[/tex]

Generally the equation for convective heat transfer is mathematically given by

[tex]q=h4(T_s-T_{inty)}[/tex]

[tex]q=(67.81)*1.65*(30-20)\\[/tex]

[tex]q=1118.865W[/tex]
