Tutorial 6

(1) This tutorial document contains three heat transfer problems involving calculations of heat transfer coefficients and heat flux. The first problem involves air flowing through a tube where the inside wall temperature is held constant by steam condensing outside the tube. (2) The second problem involves calculating the tube length required for liquid metal bismuth to be heated from 425°C to 430°C as it flows through a tube where the wall is maintained at 25°C above the liquid temperature. (3) The third problem involves calculating the heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer rate for air flowing inside a tube where the air is heated by condensing steam on the outside of the tube. Correlations for calculating the Nusselt

Heat Transfer Operations


Dr. M Al Ahmed, Eng. M Gaily

(1) Air is flowing through a tube having an inside diameter of 38.1 mm at a velocity of
6.71 m/s, average temperature of 449.9 K, and pressure of 138 kPa. The inside wall
temperature is held constant at 477.6 K by steam condensing outside the tube wall.
Calculate the heat-transfer coefficient for a long tube and the heat-transfer flux.
(2) A liquid metal bismuth at a flow rate of 2.0 kg/s enters a tube having an inside
diameter of 35 mm at 425 C and is heated to 430 C in the tube. The tube wall is
maintained at a temperature of 25 C above the liquid bulk temperature. Calculate the
tube length required. The physical properties are as follows:
k = 15.6 W/m.K, CP = 149 J/kg. K, = 1.34 x 10-3 Pa..
(3) Air at 206.8 kPa flow at an average velocity of 7.62 m/sec. inside a tube of 25.4 mm
diameter. The air entering the tube with the average temperature 477.6 K and is
heated by condensing steam on the outside of the tube. Since the heat transfer
coefficient of condensing steam is several thousand W/m2.K and the resistance of
metal wall is very small, it will be assumed that the surface wall temperature of the
metal in contact with the air is 488.7 K. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient for an
L/D = 70 and also the heat transfer rate from that section knowing that:
(1)

Nu = 1.86 NRe1/3. NPr1/3. (D/L)1/3.(b/w)0.14


2100 < NRe < 104.
(2)
Nu = 0.023 NRe0.8. NPr1/3.(b/W)0.14
(0.6 < NRe >104; NPr < 700; L/D > 60)
(3) air = (P.M)/(R.T)
average molecular weight of air = 28.97 kg/kmole.
Gas constant R = 8314.34 Pa. m3/kmole K
Average thermal conductivity k = 0.03894 W/m. K
Average specific heat = 1.0274 kJ/kg. K
