Question

A cubic transmission casing whose side length is 25cm receives an input from the engine at a rate of 350 hp. If the vehicle's velocity is such that the average heat transfer coefficient is 230 W/m'K and the efficiency of the transmission is n=0.95 (i.e. the remainder is heat), calculate the surface temperature if the ambient temperature is 15°C. Assume that heat transfer only occurs on one face of the cube. NOTE: 1 hp=745 W

Answer 1

The surface temperature is 921.95°C .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a=25 cm ,P=350 hp⇒P=260750 W

Power transmitted
`0.95* 260750`W and remaining will lost in the form of heat.This heat transmitted to air by the convection.

h=230
`(W)/(m^2-K),\eta =0.95`

Actually heat will be transmit by the convection.

In convection Q=hA
`\Delta T`

So
`P=\Delta T* Q`

`0.05* 260750=230*0.25^2\(T-15)`

T=921.95°C

So the surface temperature is 921.95°C .
