Tutorial 6

This document summarizes four examples of convective heat transfer problems involving ducts and pipes. 1) Air flowing through an insulated duct loses heat to the surrounding attic space, lowering its exit temperature. 2) Water is heated as it flows through thin-walled copper tubes surrounded by steam. 3) Air passing through an underwater duct is cooled by the surrounding river water. 4) Exhaust gases flowing through a pipe cool as they transfer heat to an external system.

Heat Transfer Processes and Equipment


Convective Heat Transfer Part 3

1. Hot air at atmospheric pressure and 85°C enters a 10-m-long uninsulated square duct
of cross section 0.15 m × 0.15 m that passes through the attic of a house at a rate of
0.10 m3/s. The duct is observed to be nearly isothermal at 70°C. Determine the exit
temperature of the air and the rate of heat loss from the duct to the air space in the
attic.
[75.7°C, 941 W]

2. Water at 15°C is heated by passing it through 2 cm-internal-diameter thin-walled


copper tubes. Heat is supplied to the water by steam that condenses outside the copper
tubes at 120°C. If water is to be heated to 65°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s, determine the
length of the copper tube that needs to be used. Assume the entire copper tube to be at
the steam temperature of 120°C.

3. A house built on a riverside is to be cooled in summer by utilizing the cool water of


the river, which flows at an average temperature of 15°C. A 15-m-long section of a
circular duct of 20-cm diameter passes through the water. Air enters the underwater
section of the duct at 25°C at a velocity of 3 m/s. Assuming the surface of the duct to
be at the temperature of the water, determine the outlet temperature of air as it leaves
the underwater portion of the duct.
[18.6 °C]

4. Hot exhaust gases leaving a stationary diesel engine at 450°C enter a l5-cm-diameter
pipe at an average velocity of 7.2 m/s. The surface temperature of the pipe is 180°C.
Determine the pipe length if the exhaust gases are to leave the pipe at 250°C after
transferring heat to water in a heat recovery unit. Use properties of air for exhaust
gases.
