Transient Heat Transfer Question 1:
A small metal bead (radius 0.5 mm), initially at 100°C, when placed in a stream of fluid at 20°C, attains a temperature of 28°C in 4.35 seconds. The density and specific heat of the metal are 8500 kg/m3 and 400 J/kgK respectively. If the bead is considered as a lumped system, the convective heat transfer coefficient (in W/m2.K) between the metal bead and the fluid stream is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 1 Detailed Solution
Lumped parameter analysis:
Internal/conductive resistance is very little as compared to surface convective resistance and the temperature distribution is given by
\(\frac{{{T}_{i}}-{{T}_{\infty }}}{T-{{T}_{\infty }}~}=~{{e}^{\left( \frac{hA}{\rho V{{C}_{p}}} \right)t}}\)
\(\frac{hA}{\rho V{{C}_{p}}}t=\ln\left( \frac{{{T}_{i}}-{{T}_{\infty }}}{T-{{T}_{\infty }}~} \right)\)
where
- Ti = Initial temperature of beat at t = 0,
- T = Temperature of body at any instant ‘t’ sec
- T∞ = Ambient fluid temperature
- h = heat transfer coefficient, ρ is the density of the metal bead
For sphere: \(\frac{V}{A} = \frac{{Volume\;of\;body}}{{surface\;area}} = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}}}{{4\pi {r^2}}} = \frac{r}{3}\)
V/A = r/3
Calculation:
Given, Cp = 400 J/kgK, ρ = 8500 kg/m3, t = 4.35 sec, r = 0.5 mm
Ti = 100°C, T∞ = 20°C, T = 28°C
Using equation (1) and putting the given values:
\(\ln\left( {\frac{{100 - 20}}{{28 - 20}}} \right) = \left( {\frac{{h \times 3 \times 1000}}{{0.5 \times 8500 \times 400}}} \right) \times 4.35\)
\(\Rightarrow h = \frac{{2.302 \times \;0.5 \times 8500 \times 400}}{{3000 \times 4.35}} = 299.87\;W/{m^2}K\;\)
∴ Heat transfer coefficient = 299.8 W/m2KTransient Heat Transfer Question 2:
A solid copper ball of mass 500 gm when quenched in a water bath at 30°C, cools from 530°C to 430°C in 10 sec. What will be the temperature of the ball after the next 10 seconds?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept
This is a case of an unsteady-state heat transfer problem.
In order to obtain the temperature after t time the formula is given by
\(\frac{{T - {T_∞ }}}{{{T_i} - {T_{∞ \;}}}} = {\rm{exp}}\left( { - \frac{{hA}}{{ρ VC}} \times τ } \right)\)
where T = temperature after time t, T∞ = temperature of bath or environment, Ti = initial temperature, τ is the time,
h is heat transfer coefficient, A is the area of cross-section, ρ is the density of ball, V is the volume of ball, C is the heat capacity.
Calculation:
Given:
T∞ = 30°C, Ti = 530°C , T = 430°C ,τ = 10 sec .
\(\frac{{T - {T_∞ }}}{{{T_i} - {T_{∞ \;}}}} = {\rm{exp}}\left( { - \frac{{hA}}{{ρVC}} \times τ } \right)\)
putting the value,
\(\frac{{430 - 30}}{{530 - 30}} = {\rm{exp}}\left( { - \frac{{hA}}{{ρVC}} \times 10} \right)\)
\(\frac{{hA}}{{ρVC}}\) = 0.022314
Now temperature of the ball after the next 10 sec means the total time is 20 sec (τ = 20 sec)
Note: Time is always taken from initial.
\(\frac{{T - {T_∞ }}}{{{T_i} - {T_{∞ \;}}}} = {\rm{exp}}\left( { - \frac{{hA}}{{ρVC}} \times τ } \right)\)
\(\frac{{T - 30}}{{530 - 30}} = {\rm{exp}}\left( { - \frac{{hA}}{{ρVC}} \times 20} \right)\)
put the value of \(\frac{{hA}}{{ρVC}}\) from the above
\(\frac{{T - 30}}{{530 - 30}} = {\rm{exp}}\left( { - 0.022314 \times 20} \right)\)
T - 30 = 320
T = 350°C.
Transient Heat Transfer Question 3:
What will be the characteristic length for a sphere?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Biot-number:
Biot number provides a way to compare the conduction resistance within a solid body to the convection resistance external to that body (offered by the surrounding fluid) for heat transfer:
\(Bi = \frac{{conduction\ resisitance}}{{Convection\ resisitance}} = \frac{{\left( {\frac{L_c}{{kA}}} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{1}{{hA}}} \right)}} = \frac{{hL_c}}{k}\)
Here k = conductivity of the solid body, Lc = characteristic length of the solid body = \(\frac{V}{A_s}\)

Transient Heat Transfer Question 4:
The heat transfer process between body and its ambient is governed by an Internal Conductive Resistance (ICR) and an External Convective Resistance (ECR) The condition for a body to become eligible for lumped perimeter analysis is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 4 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The lumped heat capacity analysis is such analysis in which temperature is only function of time and not a function of space.
T ≠ f (space)
T = f (Time) only
For lumped parameter analysis
Biot Number < 0.1
\({\rm{Biot\;No}} = \frac{{{\rm{Internal\;Conductive\;Resistance\;}}\left( {{\rm{ICR}}} \right)}}{{{\rm{External\;Convective\;Resistance\;}}\left( {{\rm{ECR}}} \right)}}\)
∴ for Biot No → 0, we should have Internal Conductive Resistance (ICR) as negligible.Transient Heat Transfer Question 5:
Heisler’s charts are used to determine transient heat flow rate and temperature distribution when
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- The Heisler charts are extensively used to determine the temperature distribution and heat flow rate when both conduction and convection resistances are almost of equal importance and Biot no is 1.
- Biot number is the ratio of internal conductive resistance to external convective resistance. It is used to determine whether lumped heat analysis can be applied for the given condition or not.
- For lumped heat analysis ideally Biot number should be equal to 0. But we can apply this analysis when Biot number is less than 0.1 also.
- When Biot number is greater than 0.1, the Heisler chart is used to determine the temperature variations.
- Therefore, the best suitable option is 4
Transient Heat Transfer Question 6:
A spherical shape billet is at a temperature of 500 K. It is dropped suddenly at an oil bath whose temperature is 300 K. In the second experiment it is done with the same material and temperature conditions. A device is connected which gives the rate of heat transfer Q̇ at any time t. First, the heat transfer rate Q̇1 was calculated when (Bi Fo) number was 1 in the first experiment, and in the second experiment heat transfer rate, Q̇2 was calculated when (Bi Fo) number was 2 respectively. Find the ratio of \(\frac{\dot Q_1}{\dot Q_2}\)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 2.7 - 2.8
Transient Heat Transfer Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The temperature equation with time in a lumped system is given by:
\( \left( {\frac{{T - {T_∞ }}}{{{T_i} - {T_∞ }}}} \right) = e^{- \frac{{hA}}{{\rho CV}}t} \)
\(T=T_{\infty}+ ({T_i} - {T_∞ })e^{- \frac{{hA}}{{\rho CV}}t} \)
Rate of heat transfer at any time t can be obtained from:
\(\dot{Q}=-mc\frac{dT}{dt}\)
\(\dot{Q}=-mc\frac{d}{dt}\left[T_{\infty}+ ({T_i} - {T_∞ })e^{- \frac{{hA}}{{\rho CV}}t} \right]\)
\(\dot{Q}=hA({T_i} - {T_∞ })e^{- \frac{{hA}}{{\rho CV}}t}\)
We know that \(\frac{hAt}{\rho c V}=Bi Fo\)
Calculation:
Given:
(Bi Fo)1 = 1, (Bi Fo)2 = 2
\(\dot{Q}=hA({T_i} - {T_∞ })e^{- BiFo}\)
\(\dot{Q}\propto e^{- (BiFo)}\)
\(\frac{\dot{Q}_1}{\dot{Q}_2}= \frac{e^{-{(BiFo)}_1}}{e^{-{(BiFo)}_2}}\)
\(\frac{\dot{Q}_1}{\dot{Q}_2}= \frac{e^{-1}}{e^{-2}}=e=2.718\)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 7:
A Sphere of a radius of 7.86 cm is initially at a temperature of 290°C is suddenly immersed in a fluid at 15°C. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 58 W/m2k. Find the rate of change in temperature after 22.617 minutes. Take properties of sphere as ρ = 2700 kg/m3, c = 900 j/kg k, K = 205 W/mk (up to 2 decimal places)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) -0.09 - -0.05
Transient Heat Transfer Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
\(\rm \frac{T - T_{∞}}{T_0 - T_{∞}} = exp \left[ - \left( \frac{hA}{ρ VC} \right) × t \right]~\)
Convective heat loss = Rate of change of energy
hA(T - T∞) = -mCp\(\frac{dT}{dt}\)
Calculation:
Given:
Radius of sphere, r = 7.86 cm, To = 290 °C, T∞ = 15 °C, h = 58 W/m2K, t = 22.617 minutes, ρ = 2700 kg/m3, c = 900 j/kgK, K = 205 W/mK
\(\rm \frac{T - T_{∞}}{T_0 - T_{∞}} = exp \left[ - \left( \frac{hA}{ρ VC} \right) × t \right]~\)
\(\rm \frac{T - T_{∞}}{T_0 - T_{∞}} = exp \left[ - \left( \frac{hA}{ρ VC} \right) × t \right]~\)
\(\rm \frac{T - 15}{290 - 15} = exp [-9.1 × 10^{-4} × 1357]\)
T = 95°C
For sphere at any temperature T
Convective heat loss = Rate of change of energy
hA(T - T∞) = -mCp\(\frac{dT}{dt}\)
9.1 × 10-4 × (95 - 15) = \(\frac{dT}{dt}\)
\(\frac{dT}{dt} = -(0.073)\)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 8:
Heat flow in unsteady-state heat conduction may be expressed in terms of which of the following two dimensionless numbers?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 8 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
In case of unsteady state heat conduction, the temperature keeps changing with respect to time. so in this case, storage or accumulation of energy occurs. So in this case Fourier and Biot numbers are helpful to study the unsteady state.
Fourier number is the ratio of heat conduction through medium to the rate of thermal energy storage. It is a dimension less number and it is denoted as Fr. It is also defined as ratio of operating time to diffusion time. the main significance of this number is it decides the thermal response of body.
Biot number is dimensionless number, the ratio of internal conductive resistance to external convective resistance and it is denoted as Bi. the main significance of this number is, it measures the temperature gradient of body.
If Bi < 0.1, then it indicates Lumped body.
Additional Information
Schmidt number (Sc): Ratio of molecular diffusivity of momentum to molecular diffusivity of mass transfer.
\(Sc=\frac{\mu}{\rho D}=\frac{\nu}{ D}\)
Where v is kinematic viscosity and D is diffusion coefficient
Prandtl number:
Prandtl number is the ratio of momentum diffusivity to thermal diffusivity.
\(Pr = \frac{\nu }{\alpha } = \frac{\mu }{{\frac{{\rho k}}{{\rho {C_p}}}}} = \frac{{\mu {C_p}}}{k}\)
Where α is thermal diffusivity.
Now,
\(\frac{{{S_c}}}{{Pr}} = \frac{{\frac{v}{D}}}{{\frac{v}{\alpha }}} = \frac{\alpha }{D}\)
Fourier number:
Fourier number is used in transient heat conduction. It is the ratio of diffusive or conductive transport rate to the quantity storage rate.
\(\begin{array}{l} {F_0}\; = \;\frac{{Conduction\;rate}}{{Thermal\;energy\;storage\;rate}}\\ {F_0}\; = \;\frac{{\alpha t}}{{{L^2}}} \end{array}\)
where \(\alpha \; = \;\frac{k}{{{\rho \times{{C_p}}}}}\) is thermal diffusivity, t = characteristic time, L = Length through which conduction occurs
Grashof number:
The dimensionless parameter which represents the natural convection effects is called the Grashof number.
Grashof number, Gr, is the ratio between the buoyancy force and the viscous force:
\(Gr = \frac{{g\beta \left( {{T_s} - {T_\infty }} \right)L_c^3}}{{{\nu ^2}}}\)
Nusselt number is a function of the Grashof number and the Prandtl number alone. Nu = f (Gr, Pr)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 9:
Heisler chart is useful when Fourier number exceeds value
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Transient Heat Transfer Question 9 Detailed Solution
- Heisler charts are helpful when lumped heat capacity method fails i.e. when the biot number is more than 0.1
- Also, heisler chart solution is acceptable only when fourier number exceeds 0.2
Transient Heat Transfer Question 10:
A long 15 cm diameter shaft of stainless steel (K = 14.9 W/mK), ρ = 7900 kg/m3 C = 477 J/kgK and α = 3.95 × 10-6 m2/s is at a uniform temperature of 450 °C. The shaft is allowed to cool slowly in a chamber at 150°C with heat transfer coefficient of h = 85 W/m2K. Calculate the temperature (℃) at the end of 25 min after the cooling starts.
Use (θ0 = 0.49 at Bi-1 = 2.337 and Fo = 1.053) and (θ0 = 0.88 at Bi-1 = 4.672 and Fo = 1.053)Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 295 - 299
Transient Heat Transfer Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
To calculate the temperature of a cooling stainless steel shaft in a given time, we will use the transient heat conduction solution for a finite cylinder with given parameters.
Calculation:
Given:
Diameter of the shaft, \( D = 15 \, \text{cm} = 0.15 \, \text{m} \)
Thermal conductivity, \( K = 14.9 \, \text{W/mK} \)
Density, \( \rho = 7900 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)
Specific heat, \( C = 477 \, \text{J/kgK} \)
Thermal diffusivity, \( \alpha = 3.95 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2/\text{s} \)
Initial temperature, \( T_i = 450^\circ \text{C} \)
Ambient temperature, \( T_\infty = 150^\circ \text{C} \)
Heat transfer coefficient, \( h = 85 \, \text{W/m}^2\text{K} \)
Time, \( t = 25 \, \text{min} = 1500 \, \text{s} \)
Calculation:
First, calculate the Biot number (Bi):
\( \text{Bi} = \frac{h \cdot r_0}{K} = \frac{85 \cdot 0.075}{14.9} \approx 0.428 \)
Given:
\( \theta_0 = 0.49 \) at \( \text{Bi}^{-1} = 2.337 \)
\( \theta_0 = 0.88 \) at \( \text{Bi}^{-1} = 4.672 \)
Calculate the inverse Biot number for our case:
\( \text{Bi}^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{Bi}} = \frac{1}{0.428} \approx 2.336 \)
Since our Bi-1 value is very close to 2.337, we can approximate \( \theta_0 \) by interpolation.
Calculate the Fourier number (Fo):
\( \text{Fo} = \frac{\alpha t}{r_0^2} = \frac{3.95 \times 10^{-6} \times 1500}{(0.075)^2} \approx 1.053 \)
Given Fo matches with the provided data, use the θ0 corresponding to Bi-1 = 2.337 directly:
\( \theta_0 \approx 0.49 \)
Calculate the final temperature \( T \):
\( \theta_0 = \frac{T - T_\infty}{T_i - T_\infty} \)
\( 0.49 = \frac{T - 150}{450 - 150} \)
\( 0.49 = \frac{T - 150}{300} \)
\( T - 150 = 0.49 \times 300 \)
\( T - 150 = 147 \)
\( T = 147 + 150 \)
\( T = 297^\circ \text{C} \)
The temperature at the end of 25 minutes after the cooling starts is approximately:
\( 297^\circ\text{C} \)
