cup when you place your hand to the side of it. Radiant energy transfer is caused by a warm surface giving up its heat to a cooler surface. Whenever there is a temperature difference between two surfaces, both surfaces will attempt to equalize. Radiant energy travels through space without heating the space itself. It only turns into heat when it contacts a cooler surface. Our human comfort relies just as much on radiant heat transfer as it does on air temperature, yet the majority of heating and…
1. Cite everyday illustrations of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. How does the laws of thermodynamics underlie every organism’s ability to function? The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; however, it can be converted to other forms. An everyday illustration of the first law of thermodynamic is photosynthesis in which a plant uses sunlight, a form of light energy, to produce sugars that are assembled into glucose, which is a type of…
3.3.2. Initial and Boundary Conditions. The pipe is subject to atmospheric pressure Po at time zero this represented initial condition . Boundary condition represented as at the pipe inlet profiles, uniform pressure Pinlet and its value change with concentration of nanofluid [φ%] and inlet temperature T0 = 60 ºC can be measured for all experimental . On the pipe wall, the pressure was atmospheric pressure Po . Moreover, flow and thermal fields are assumed symmetrical with respect to…
COMPARATIVE STUDY ON FRICTION WELDED AND ELECTRON BEAM WELDED JOINTS MADE BY 20VNiMoCr120 STEEL Gabriela IANCULESCU*, Lucia Violeta MELNIC, Marian Andrei GURĂU Ovidius University of Constanta Abstract: In the paper there are presented experimental results concerning mechanical characteristics of friction-welded joints in comparison with electron beam welded joints, made by 20VNiMoCr120 heat-resistant steel, which are part of some elements working at high pressure and temperature. The paper…
1. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the experiment are: • Measurement of creep deformation in 2 materials; lead and polypropylene at room temperature. • Determine how creep deformation of chosen materials can be affected by stress. • Recognise that the two classes of materials show differences in creep behaviour. • Awareness of creep as a design consideration. 2. THEORY 2.1 Introduction Structural materials are often placed in service under a certain applied load at elevated temperatures (eg. wind…

Evaporation: The rate of heat transfer in the evaporator is calculated using equations 10 and 11 Q_in=(εC)_evap (T_(in,evap)-T_evap ) (10) Where ε is the effectiveness of the evaporator, C is the capacitance rate for the air or chilled water passing through the evaporator. Tevap is the temperature of refrigerant in evaporator and Tin, evap is the temperature of the air or chilled water at the inlet of the evaporator. Equation 11 express Qin in terms of enthalpy. Q_in=m ̇_ref (h_4-h_1)…
There are many definitions of thermal comfort, which depends on the aims and expectations of those who defined it (Chappells, and Shove, 2004). Jiao (2010) stated that, the rate at which human body gain and lose energy, and also the state of comfort is satisfactory once all heat flow in and out of the body are in equilibrium. Also, (ASHRAE 2004), described it as “the state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment.” This definition highlights subjective and…

base assumption of the ‘Principle of Heat Exchange’, which is that the principle only holds true if heat is not lost to its surroundings. Although, the loss of heat to its environment (ex. Desk, air, cup, etc.) was attempted to be minimized by quick transfer of the water and object, and the use of a calorimeter, the data proves that there was a loss of heat as the theoretical temperature was higher than the resulting temperature. 2. For part two, compare your specific heat capacity value of the…
