An electric room heater has been designed in the shape of a vertical cylinder 2-m-tall and 30 cm in diameter. For safety, the heater surface cannot exceed 35°C. If the room air is 20°C, find the power rating of the heater in watts.
GIVEN
• An electric heater in the shape of a vertical cylinder
• Heater height (H) = 2 m
• Heater diameter (D) = 30 cm = 0.3 m
• Room air temperature (T?) = 20°C = 293 K
FIND
• The power rating of the heater (q) in watts
ASSUMPTIONS
• Radiation is negligible
• Heat transfer from the top and bottom of the tank is negligible
