Hand experiencing convection heat transfer with moving air and water.xls
Description
KNOWN: Hand experiencing convection heat transfer with moving air and water.
FIND: Determine which condition feels colder. Contrast these results with a heat loss of 30W/m2 under normal room conditions.
ASSUMPTIONS: 1) Temperature is uniform over the hand's surface
2) Convection coefficient is uniform over the hand
3) Negligible radiation exchange between hand and surroundings in the case of air flow
ANALYSIS: The hand will feel colder for the conditions which results in the larger heat loss. The Heat loss can be determined from Newton's law of cooling.
