3. A thermocouple is used to measure the surface temperature of an object. The center of a thermocouple bead of diameter D-100 μm is positioned at a distance 10 μm from the surface of interest. The t...
1. (10 points) A spherical thermocouple junction 1 mm in diameter is inserted in a combustion chamber to measure the temperature of the products of combustion. The hot gases are at 1000 K and have a velocity of 5 m/s. The thermocouple junction has an emissivity of 50% and the cooled walls of the combustor are at 500 K. The properties of the thermocouple junction are: p = 9000 kg/m”, Cp = 500 J/kg:K, k = 100 W/mK. The properties...
5. A steel post (10 mm diameter, 0.5 m length) is placed vertically on top of a heated block of steel (steel thermal conductivity 50 Wm K1) with perfect contact. The core temperature of the block is Th. However, placing the steel post on the block reduces the temperature at the interface between the post and the block to T 195 C, since the post acts as a fin (assume that it is infinitely long with respect to its diameter)...
A long wire with circular cross section and diameter D = 1 mm is submerged in an oil bath with temperature To 20。C. The wire is initially at temperature T = 20。C, the same temperature as the oil. A current is passed through the wire, resulting in a volumetric heat generation of q - 1.5 x 108 W/m3. The convection coefficient is h - 500 W/m2 - K, and the properties of the wire are ρ-8000 kg/m3, Cp-500 J/kg-K, and...
