Heat and Mass Transfer (MEL - 242) Tutorial - 7

1. The document contains 5 problems related to heat and mass transfer. The first problem asks to calculate the tube wall temperature and pressure drop for air flowing through a triangular duct where the inlet and outlet temperatures are given. 2. The second problem provides details about water flowing through a heated tube, and asks to calculate the local heat transfer coefficient, total heat transfer rate, and exit temperatures. 3. The third problem involves heat transfer of air through a copper tube, and asks to determine the length of tube needed for a given heat transfer rate and the local heat flux.

Heat and Mass transfer

(MEL 242)
Tutorial - 7
1. Air enters a small duct having a cross-section of an equilateral triangle, 3 mm on a side. The
entering temperature is 27 oC and the exit temperature is 77 oC. If the flow rate is 5 x 10 -5 kg/s
and the tube length is 30 cm, calculate tube wall temperature necessary to affect the heat
transfer. Also calculate pressure drop, when pressure is 1 atm.
2. Water is heated, as it flows through 5 m long tube at the rate 0.011 kg/s. The tube is wrapped
with an electrical heating tape and a layer of insulation covers the tape. Such an arrangement
results in uniform heat flux of 2878 W/m2 on the internal wall of 20 mm diameter tube. At x =
3.75m, bulk mean temperature of water is 330 K and tube wall temperature is 350 K.
Determine: Local heat transfer coefficient at x = 3.75 m
Total heat transfer rate to the water over entire length of tube
Mean bulk temperature of fluid and tube wall temperature at exit.
3. Consider a flow of air through a 2 mm inside diameter copper tube. At x = 0, flow is fully
developed and air has average velocity of 12 m/s and a temperature of 300 K. Tube wall is
maintained at 400 K. Convective heat transfer coefficient and specific heat (c p) of air can be
treated as constants with values 532 W/m2-K and 1008 J/kg-K respectively. Pressure is 100
kPa. Determine length of tube such that overall heat transfer rate is 3.309 W. Also determine
local heat flux at x = L.
4. Determine pressure drop and head loss associated with a 0.0269 kg/s flow of water through a
smooth 100 m long horizontal tube, whose internal diameter is 20 mm. Temperature of water is
300 K, pressure is 1 atm and flow is fully developed.
5. Water is heated as it flows through a stack of parallel metallic blades. Blade to blade spacing is
1 cm and mean velocity through each channel is 3.2 cm/s. Each blade is heated electrically so
that both sides of blade release together 1600 W/m 2 into the water. Assuming water properties
can be evaluated at 50 oC and flow is thermally fully developed (T.F.D.)
Verify that the flow is laminar
Calculate mean temperature difference between the blade and water stream
Calculate rate of temperature increase along the channel.
Develop a feeling for how long the channel must be so that assumption of T.F.D. is
valid
