16-46 Power required to maintain the surface temperature of a long, 25 mm diameter cylinder with an imbedded electrical
heater for different air velocities.
Assumptions 1 Temperature is uniform over the cylinder surface. 2 Negligible radiation exchange between the cylinder
surface and the surroundings. 3 Steady state conditions.
Analysis (a) From an overall energy balance on the cylinder, the power dissipated by the electrical heater is transferred by
not linear with respect to the air velocity.

(b) To determine the constants C and n, plot h vs. V on log-log coordinates. Choosing C = 22.12 W/m2.K(s/m)n, assuring a
match at V = 1, we can readily find the exponent n from the slope of the h vs. V curve. From the trials with n = 0.8, 0.6 and
0.5, we recognize that n = 0.6 is a reasonable choice. Hence, the best values of the constants are: C = 22.12 and n = 0.6. The
details of these trials are given in the following table and plot.

forcing the air up which hits the ceiling and moves downward in a gently manner to avoid drafts.

Now that T2 is known, we can calculate the heat flux. Since the heat transfer through the wall by conduction is equal to heat
transfer to the outer wall surface by convection, we may use either the Fourier’s law of heat conduction or the Newton’s law
