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. If the emissivity of the top and bottom surfaces are ε = 0.5 and > = 0.7, respectively, determine the temperatures of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the furnace.

You decide a long, hemispherical furnace will be the best choice.

An insulating wall prevents direct transmission of radiative energy from the ceramic plate to the sheet metal.

- answer asaparrow_forwardA radio controlled aircraft is instrumented with an airspeed sensor and a power module, which measures the airspeed V [m/s] with an uncertainty of ± 0.8 [m/s], the battery voltage E [V] with an uncertainty of ± 0.8 [V] and the current draw i with an uncertainty of ± 0.8 [A]. 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. The coefficient of drag CD for cruise flight is governed by the following equation.

- Annealing 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. (Note that the irradiance depends on the oven wall temperature, not the sheet temperature). 1 0.8 0.3 2.5 λ (μη) . c) The circulating inert gas comes from a reservoir and must be preheated before it flows into the furnace so that it doesn't cool the sheet too much.

Simply taking the output of a thermocouple at face value can, however, result in significant errors. Consider measuring the temperature of hot process gas flowing through a large duct with a small thermocouple. The thermocouple surface is diffuse and gray with emissivity ε. The duct walls are known to be 400°C with total emissivity &w = 0.8. The error between the measured temperature (Ttc) and the process gas (T) is defined as AT = Ttc - To. If the true process gas temperature is T∞ = 125°C, plot the error for 5 values of the thermocouple emissivity, & = {0.1,0.3.0.5,0.7,0.9), as a function of the convection coefficient, {h | 15 5 W≤h≤ 103 W}.
