1. Electrical circuitry is written onto a photovoltaic panel by depositing a stream of small

(D=55 µm) droplets of electrically conducting ink from a thermal inkjet printer. The
drops are at an initial temperature of 200°C, and it is desirable for them to strike the
panel at a temperature of 50°C. The quiescent air and surroundings are at 25°C, and
the drops are ejected from the print head at their terminal velocity. Determine the
required standoff distance L between the printer and the photovoltaic panel. properties
of the electrically conducting ink drop are =2400kg/m3 ,cd=800J/kgK, Kd=5.0W/mK.
2. A vertical copper plate of 4.0 m high is maintained at 60°C by electrical sensor and it
exposed to cold atmospheric air at 10°C. Calculate the total heat transfer if the plate is
10 m wide.
3. A square plate of 0.6m * 0.6m is kept in a room at 30˚C. One side is insulated and other
side kept isothermally at 90˚C. Determine the heat transfer rate from the plate by natural
convection if the plate is (a) horizontal with hot surface facing up, (b) horizontal with
hot surface facing down and (c) vertical.
4. The water is to be heated from 16°C to 49°C in smooth copper tube diameter of 5 mm.
An electric heater supplied heat to the tube that provides a constant heat flux such that
the tube wall temperature is always 32°C above the water bulk temperature. The
Reynolds number used for calculating the heat-transfer coefficient is 100,000.
Calculate the required length of tube required to produce hot water at 49°C.
5. A power plant company decide to recover the waste heat from flue gas, such that tube
in tube heat exchanger is selected and design for hot flue gases at 700 K flow inside a
SS tube of 25 mm ID with 1.6 mm wall thickness. A 50 mm tube is placed around the
25 mm diameter tube, and high-pressure water at 150°C flows in the annular space
between the tubes. If the flow rate of water is 1.5 kg/s and the total heat transfer is 17.5
kW, Could you please find the length of the heat exchanger for a maximum gas mass
flow of 0.8 kg/s. Take the properties of the flue gas are the same as those of air at
atmospheric pressure and 700 K.
6. Summarize the procedure for calculation of convection heat transfer coefficient for
both free and forced convection.
