2. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number of copper cylinder which has the
diameter 0.06m and length 0.8m is covered by a hollow rectangular box of side 0.06m and
height 5m. The input power given to the metal is 33W.
3. What happen to the value of heat transfer coefficient at the surface of iron cylinder when
initial power is increased from48W to 65W? The diameter and length of the cylinder is .07m and
1m respectively and outer rectangular box having side 0.08m and height0.7m.
4. The vertical cylinder of steel has diameter 0.05m and length 1m conducts heat with a power
of 78W and outer rectangular box having dimension 0.09m x 0.8m.Calculate the heat transfer
coefficient at the surface of the metal cylinder and hence calculate the value of corresponding
Nusselt number.
5. How the diameter of the given cylinder made of silver affects the value of heat transfer
coefficient when the diameter changes from 0.05m to0.1m and the power supplied to it is 20W.
The length of metal is 0.9m and rectangular box having dimension 0.08m x 0.9m?
Simulator Controls
1. Choose material - This can used to select the material for the metal cylinder.
2. Side of wooden box - Side of the outer wooden hollow rectangular box can be varied in cm.
3. Height of wooden box - Height of the outer wooden hollow rectangular box can be varied in
cm.
4. Diameter of cylinder- Diameter of the vertical cylinder can be varied in cm.
5. Length of the cylinder - Length of the vertical cylinder can be varied in cm.
6. Thickness of cylinder - Thickness of the vertical cylinder can be varied in cm.
7. White knob - can be rotated by clicking the side arrows to adjust the voltage and
corresponding current, which can be used to calculate input power.
8. Power On - click to start the experiment.
9. Temperature indicator - used to read the temperature at the positions of the various
thermocouples. After a steady state is reached (when the timer shows 20 minutes), click the
arrows on either side of the knob to read temperatures T1 to T6 in degrees Celsius.
