Chapter 5 Problem 595

Question

The components of an electronic system dissipating 180 W are located in a 1.4-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 20 cm 3 20 cm. The components in the duct are cooled by forced air that enters the duct at 308C and 1 atm at a rate of 0.6 m3 /min and leaves at 408C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the outer surfaces of the duct to the ambient.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 95 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The components of an electronic system dissipating 180 W are located in a 1.4-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 20 cm 3 20 cm. The components in the duct are cooled by forced air that enters the duct at 308C and 1 atm at a rate of 0.6 m3 /min and leaves at 408C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the outer surfaces of the duct to the ambient.
From the textbook chapter Mass and Energy Analysis of Control Volumes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
