A fluorescent light bulb, rated at 100W, is illuminated in air at 25°C and atmospheric pressure. Under these conditions the surface temperature of the glass is 140°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the bulb by natural convection. The bulb is cylindrical, having a diameter of 35 mm and a length of 0.8m, and is oriented horizontally.

Answer:

q = 83.39 W

Explanation:

given data

temperature t1 = 25°C

temperature t2 = 140°C

solution

we get here T(f) = [tex]\frac{25+140}{2}[/tex]   = 82.5°C  

so here rate of hat transfer is

q = h A ΔT   ..........1

q =  [tex]\frac{k}{D} * Nu * \pi D L * \Delta T[/tex]    .............2

here we get Nu first

for for 82.5°C  

[tex]\frac{\beta\ g}{v^2}[/tex] = 0.625 ×[tex]10^{8}[/tex] [tex](m^3K)^{-1}[/tex]

so here Ra will be = 0.625 ×[tex]10^{8}[/tex] × 0.035³ × (140-25) × 0.696

Ra = 2.14 × [tex]10^{5}[/tex]

so Nu will be = [ 0.60 +  [tex]\frac{0.387\ Ra^{1/6}}{(1+(0.559/Pr)^{9/16})^{8/27}}[/tex]  ]²

here Pr is 0.696 so solve we get Nu = 9.49

put value in equation 2 we get

q = 0.0304 × 9.49 × π × 0.8 × 115

q = 83.39 W
