    MIET1081 - Investigative Portfolio Assignment

    Sem 1, 2020

    InstRuctions
    – Choose one of the assignments/reports below to investigate
    – This is an individual assignment examining your knowledge of heat transfer and looking for your original
    and thoughtful solution. ‘Turn-it-In’ will be used to assist on the originality of the submission. There
    will be a zero tolerance of plagiarism and you are responsibile for your actions.
    – The assignment is worth 35% and is due Friday 5th June. Submit a Report, and PPT slides summarising
    the project
    – Instructions is a template of the assignment with a rubric to guide your work is given

    RepoRt 1: Optimized window spacings


    Write a computer program to determine the optimized spacing between
    the two glasses of a double-pane window. The analysis should evaluate
    the recommended practical value of the spacing (relative to buildings) to
    minimize the heat losses and list it when the size of the window (the height
    and the width) and the temperatures of the glasses are specified. Evaluate
    and discuss the influence of spacing medium which can be filled with dry
    air, a gas, or a vacuum. Obtain different operating conditions from differ-
    ent environments. This can include day/night and/or winter and summer
    conditions. It is expected that you use skills in programming in any of
    the following tools: Matlab, Python, Mathematica, (or Excel if you need
    to). Show all calculations that were used to justify your decisions and re-
    sults. This includes, any conduction, convection, and radiation heat trans-
    fer modes (including solar heat gain) that occur. Submissions: Report, PPT Heat transfer through a window.
    summary

    RepoRt 2: DeteRmining heat tRansfeR of cans


    (Requires 1x thermometer, 1x canned drink)
    Bottles can be placed into fridges horizontally or vertically, but which orientation would
    produce the most rapid heat transfer? In this project you will measure the heat transfer
    from a can. To perform this test you will look at a cold can heating up. Leave a canned
    drink in the fridge overnight to ensure uniform temperature of the fluid. The next day,
    measure the ambient temperature with your thermometer, and obtain any other relevant
    fluid property from Bureau of Meterology for the day. Take the can out of the fridge, open
    it up and place a thermometer in the can to measure the inner liquid temperature. Measure
    the heating effect by taking temperature values every 2min. You only need to do this for an
    upright vertically standing can. Compare your results with calculations, and discuss any
    Heat transfer from
    discrepancies. Using equations, analyse the scenario if the can was horizontal, and compare an upright
    the results. In your calculations determine the conduction through the cylindrical can, and vertical can.
    the combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient. Submissions: Report, PPT summary

    RepoRt 3: Design of undeRgRound flooR heating
    A house with 200-m2 floor space is heated with geothermal water
    flowing through pipes laid in the ground under the floor. The walls
    of the house are 4 m high, and there are 8 single-paned windows
    in the house that are 1.2 m wide and 1.8 m high. The house has R-
    4 insulation (where R = 1/U is the overall unit thermal resistance
    (the R-value) and U is the overall heat transfer coefficient) in the walls
    and R-5 on the ceiling. The floor temperature is not to exceed 40◦ C.
    Hot geothermal water is available at 90◦ C, and the inner and outer
    diameter of the pipes to be used are 2.4 cm and 3.0 cm. Analyse and Pipes placed for underfloor heating.
    design such a heating system for this house in your area. Determine the environmental conditions in your
    area from weather data such Bureau of Meterology to determine your design. The analysis should include:
    forced convection through pipes; convection and radiation heat transfer from the floor surface; heat loss
    through the windows and; costs of the insulation, energy consumption of a pump that needs to move the
    water through the pipes. Submissions: Report, PPT summary
