basement, and it experiences a 3°C-temperature drop. The combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient at the
outer surface of the pipe is to be determined.

dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about the centerline and no significant variation in the axial direction. 3

3-189 The plumbing system of a house involves some section of a plastic pipe exposed to the ambient air. The pipe is
initially filled with stationary water at 0C. It is to be determined if the water in the pipe will completely freeze during a cold
night.
Assumptions 1 Heat transfer is transient, but can be treated as steady since the water temperature remains constant during
freezing. 2 Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about the centerline and no variation in the axial
direction. 3 Thermal properties of water are constant. 4 The water in the pipe is stationary, and its initial temperature is 0C.
5 The convection resistance inside the pipe is negligible so that the inner surface temperature of the pipe is 0C.
Properties The thermal conductivity of the pipe is given to be k = 0.16 W/m°C. The density and latent heat of fusion of
water at 0C are = 1000 kg/m3 and hif = 333.7 kJ/kg (Table A-9).

3-194 A wall is constructed of two large steel plates separated by 1-cm thick steel bars placed 99 cm apart. The remaining
space between the steel plates is filled with fiberglass insulation. The rate of heat transfer through the wall is to be
determined, and it is to be assessed if the steel bars between the plates can be ignored in heat transfer analysis since they
occupy only 1 percent of the heat transfer surface area.
Assumptions 1 Heat transfer is steady since there is no indication of change with time. 2 Heat transfer through the wall can
be approximated to be one-dimensional. 3 Thermal conductivities are constant. 4 The surfaces of the wall are maintained at
constant temperatures.

insulation.
