Question 1

What is the formula for calculating film resistance?

  • R_conv = hA
  • R_conv = 1/(hA)
  • R_conv = (hA)²

💡 Hint: Think about how heat flows.

Question 2

True or False: An increase in surface area increases film resistance.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Refer to the formula.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe with a circular cross-section has a convective heat transfer coefficient of 45 W/m²·K and a surface area of 3 m². Calculate R_conv. If the coefficient decreases to 20 W/m²·K, what is the new resistance?

💡 Hint: Calculate using the given values.

Question 2

Given a system where the surface area can be increased from 2 m² to 10 m² while maintaining h constant at 25 W/m²·K, discuss the impact on heat transfer efficiency and R_conv.

💡 Hint: Examine the effects of changing A in the film resistance formula.
