Consider a 150-W incandescent lamp. The filament of the lamp is 5 cm long and has a diameter of 0.5 mm. The diameter of the glass bulb of the lamp is 8 cm. Determine the heat flux in W/m2 (a) on the surface of the filament and (b) on the surface of the glass bulb, and (c) calculate how much it will cost per year to keep that lamp on for eight hours a day every day if the unit cost of electricity is $0.08/kWh.
The filament of a 150 W incandescent lamp is 5 cm long and has a diameter of 0.5 mm. The heat flux on the surface of the filament, the heat flux on the surface of the glass bulb, and the annual electricity cost of the bulb are to be determined.
Assumptions Heat transfer from the surface of the filament and the bulb of the lamp is uniform.
Analysis (a) The heat transfer surface area and the heat flux on the surface of the filament are
(b) The heat flux on the surface of glass bulb is
