 Convection Heat Transfer
Governed by Newton’s law of cooling:

Q = hAs (Ts − T∞ )

 Convection Heat Transfer Example
For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be
modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical
cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces
insulated and with the side surface at an average
temperature of 34 ºC.
For h = 15 W m-2 ºC-1, determine the rate of heat loss
from this man by convection to still air at 20 ºC.

Q loss = hAs (Ts − T∞ )

= (15)(π )(0.30 )(1.70 )(34 − 20 ) = 336.5 W

 Radiation Heat Transfer
For a surface at Ts completely enclosed by surroundings
at Tsurr,
(
Q = εσAs Ts4 − Tsurr

)
One can define an equivalent radiation heat transfer
coefficient, hrad, from
(
Q = hrad As (Ts − Tsurr ) = εσAs Ts4 − Tsurr

)
(
= εσAs Ts2 − Tsurr

 Radiation HT Example Solution (1)
(a) No radiation
∂Ecv 

Q in = 500 W = Q out = hAs (Ts − T∞ )

500 = h(0.25)(120 − 20) → h = 20 2

First determine h
m °C

Now calculate Ts:

Q in = 700 W = Q out = (20 )(0.25)(Ts − 20 ) → Ts = 160 °C

 Radiation HT Example Solution (2)
(b) With radiation
(
Q in = 700 W = Q out = hAs (Ts − T∞ ) + εσAs Ts4 − Tw4 )
(
700 = (20 )(0.25)(Ts − 293) + (0.75) 5.67 x10 −8
)(0.25)[ Ts4 − (284 )

]
Solve this nonlinear equation:
Ts = 395 K = 122 °C
