The top surface of the furnace is uniformly heated by a resistance heater. During operation, the top surface is measured to be 800 K and the power supplied to the resistance heater is 1750 W/m². The sidewall of the furnace is perfectly insulated with ε = 0.2.

- You are designing an industrial furnace to keep pieces of sheet metal at a fixed temperature. You decide a long, hemispherical furnace will be the best choice. The hemispherical portion is built from insulating brick to reflect the radiation from a ceramic plate onto the sheet metal and the ceramic plate is heated by gas burners from below. An insulating wall prevents direct transmission of radiative energy from the ceramic plate to the sheet metal. The radius of the hemisphere is 1 m and the rest of the system properties can be found in the table below. You may neglect convection during your analysis.

These sensors are used to estimate the coefficient of drag CD of the aircraft. For this purpose, the aircraft was flown under cruise condition at a constant speed, maintaining a constant altitude and the airspeed was recorded as V=10 [m/s]. A battery voltage of E=11.1 [V] and current draw i= 1[A] was also recorded. Prior to take off the weight of the aircraft was recorded using a scale as 0.8 [N] ± 0.03 [N], and the planform area S of the aircraft was found using a CAD model as 0.35 [m^2]. The air density p relevant to flight conditions was found to be p =1.225 [kg/m^3] and the propulsion efficiency was found to be 0.4.

A heat pump that requires a power input of 5.50 kW is used to maintain this house at 24°C. Determine the lowest outdoor temperature for which the heat pump can meet the heating requirements of this house. (Include a minus sign if necessary.) The lowest outdoor temperature for which the heat pump can meet the heating requirements of this house is ________ °C.arrow_forwardAnnealing is an important step in many manufacturing processes, especially for metals. A particular manufacturing process requires annealing of a thin metallic sheet at 700°C. To accomplish this task, the sheet is placed in a large furnace, the walls of which are at approximately 730°C. An inert gas circulates through the oven to prevent oxidation of the metal. a) The metallic sheet can be approximated as diffuse, and the spectral emissivity of the sheet is shown in the figure. Determine the emissive power (W/m²) from the sheet when it is at a uniform T = 700°C. b) Determine the net rate of radiative flux (W/m²) to the metal sheet.
