Consider a 1000-W iron whose base plate is made of 0.5-cm-thick aluminum alloy 2024-T6 (0-2770 kg/m...
An aluminum alloy (2024) plate, heated to a uniform temperature of 227°C, is allowed to cool while vertically suspended in a room where the ambient air and surroundings are at 27°C. The plate is 0.3 m square with a thickness of 15 mm. a) calculate the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the surrounding air. b) Develop an expression for the time rate of change of the plate temperature, assuming the temperature to be uni form at any...
The base plate of an iron has a thickness ofL = 7 mm and is made from an aluminum alloy (-2800 kg/m, c-900 J/kg . K, k-180 W/m . K, ε- 0.80). An electric resistance heater is attached to the inner surface of the plate, while the outer surface is exposed to ambient air and large surroundings at T-7,-25°C. The areas of both the inner and outer surfaces are As 0.040 m2. An approximately uniform heat flux of is applied...
Consider the base plate of a 1200-W household iron that has a thickness of L = 0.5-cm, base area of A= 300-cm', and thermal conductivity of k = 15-W/m-C". The inner surface of the base plate is subjected to a uniform heat flux generated by the resistance heaters inside, and the outer surface losses heat to the surroundings at T = 20°C by convection. Taking the convection heat transfer coefficient to be h = 80-W/m--°C obtain an expression for the...
