It is known that on clear nights a thin layer of water onthe ground will freeze before the air temperature dropsbelow 0C. Consider such a layer of water on a clearnight for which the effective sky temperature is?30Cand the convection heat transfer coefficient due to windmotion is h?25 W/m2?K. The water may be assumedto have an emissivity of 1.0 and to be insulated fromthe ground as far as conduction is concerned. Neglect-ing evaporation, determine the lowest temperature thatthe air can have without the water freezing. Accountingnow for the effect of evaporation, what is the lowesttemperature that the air can have without the waterfreezing? Assume the air to be dry.

A shallow layer of water is exposed to the naturalenvironment as shown.Consider conditions for which the solar and atmos-pheric irradiations are GS?600 W/m2and Gatm?300 W/m2, respectively, and the air temperature andrelative humidity are T??27C and ??0.50,respectively. The reflectivities of the water surfaceto the solar and atmospheric irradiation are ?S?0.3and ?atm?0, respectively, while the surface emissiv-ity is ??0.97. The convection heat transfer coeffi-cient at the airwater interface is h?25 W/m2?K.If the water is at 27C, will this temperatureincrease or decrease with time?

A roof-cooling system, which operates by maintain-ing a thin film of water on the roof surface, may beused to reduce air-conditioning costs or to maintain acooler environment in nonconditioned buildings. Todetermine the effectiveness of such a system, con-sider a sheet metal roof for which the solar absorptiv-ity ?Sis 0.50 and the hemispherical emissivity ?is0.3. Representative conditions correspond to a sur-face convection coefficient hof 20 W/m2?K, a solarirradiation GSof 700 W/m2, a sky temperature of?10C, an atmospheric temperature of 30C, and arelative humidity of 65%. The roof may be assumedto be well insulated from below. Determine the roofsurface temperature without the water film. Assum-ing the film and roof surface temperatures to beequal, determine the surface temperature with the ilm. The solar absorptivity and the hemisphericalemissivity of the filmsurface combination are ?S?0.8 and ??0.9, respectively

A wet towel hangs on a clothes line under conditionsfor which one surface receives solar irradiation ofGS?900 W/m2and both surfaces are exposed toatmospheric (sky) and ground radiation of Gatm?200 W/m2and Gg?250 W/m2, respectively. Undermoderately windy conditions, airflow at a temperatureof 27C and a relative humidity of 60% maintains aconvection heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m2?K atboth surfaces.

Our students perform a laboratory experiment todetermine mass transfer from a wet paper towel expe-riencing forced convection and irradiation from radi-ant lamps. For the values of T?and Twbprescribedon the sketch, the towel temperature was found to be Ts?310 K. In addition, flat-plate correlationsyielded average heat and mass transfer convectioncoefficients of and respectively. The towel has dimensions of92.5 mm?92.5 mm and is diffuse and gray with anemissivity of 0.96.(a) From the foregoing results, determine the vapordensities, ?A,sand ?A,?, the evaporation rate, nA(kg/s), and the net rate of radiation transfer to thetowel, qrad(W).(b) Using results from part (a) and assuming that theirradiation Gis uniform over the towel, deter-mine the emissive power E, the irradiation G, andthe radiosity J.
