The roof of a refrigerated truck compartment is of composite construction, consisting of a layer of foamed urethane insulation (t2 = 50 mm, ki= 0.026 W/m-k) sandwiched between aluminum alloy panels (t1=5mm and Kp=180 W/m · K). The length and width of the roof are L = 10m and W = 3.5 m , respectively, and the temperature of the inner Ts,i = -100 C Consider conditions for which the truck is moving at a speed of V = 105 km/h, the air temperature is T? = 32°C, and the solar irradiation is Gs = 750 W/m2 • Turbulent flow be assumed over the entire length of the roof. (a) For equivalent values of the solar absorptivity and the emissivity of the outer surface (?s = ? = 0.5), estimate the average temperature Ts.o of the outer surface. What is the corresponding heat load imposed on the refrigeration system?(b) A special finish (?s = 0.15, ?= 0.8) may be applied to the outer surface. What effect would such an application have on the surface temperature and the heat load?(c) If, with ?s = ? = 0.5, the roof is not insulated (t2 = 0), what are the corresponding values of the surface temperature and the heat load?Thermal Paint

Answer:

(a) [tex]T_{s,o}[/tex] = 33.8°C   , q = 797 W

(b) [tex]T_{s,o}[/tex] = 27.1°C    , q = 675.3 W

(c) [tex]T_{s,o}[/tex] = -9.9°C    , q =90,630 W

Comment: Use the special surface finish reduces the solar input, while increasing radiation emission from the surface.

Explanation:

(a)

From an energy balance from the outer surface

Where, [tex]R"_p = (t_{1}/k_{p}) =[/tex] 2.78 x 10⁻⁵ m².k/w

            [tex]R"_i = (t_{2}/k_{i}) =[/tex] 1.923 m².k/w

            [tex]R_{eL} = U_{w}(L/V) =[/tex] [2.92 m/s x 10 m] / [15.89 x 10⁻⁶ m²/s]

                                   = 1.84 x 10⁴

            |h| = (K/L)0.037 [tex]R_{eL}^{4/5}. P_\alpha ^{1/3}[/tex]

            substituting parameters,

            |h| = 0.0263/10*(0.037)*[(184x10⁷)^(4/5)]*(0.707)^1/3

            |h| =562Wm⁻²K⁻¹

Hence,

0.5(950) + 56.2(305-[tex]T_{s,o}[/tex])-0.5*5.67x10⁻⁸ = ([tex]T_{s,o}[/tex] - 268) / (5.56x10⁻⁵ + 1.923)

Solving, we obtain

[tex]T_{s,o}[/tex] = 306.8K

    = 33.8°C

Hence, the heat load is

q = (W.L)q" = (3.5 x 10) [tex]\frac{378 + 10}{1.923}[/tex]

q = 797 W

(b) With the special surface finish

[tex]T_{s,o}[/tex] = 301.1K = 27.1°C

Similarly, q = 675.3 W

(c) Without the insulation (t₂ = 0) and with (∝s = E = 0.5)

[tex]T_{s,o}[/tex] = 263.1k = -9.9°C

Similarly, q = 90,630 W
