A plate heater is designed such that its dimensions are 600 mm x 300 mm. Air at
25°C flows past heater at 2.5 m/s and is maintained at a uniform temperature at
95°C. Calculate the heat loss from the plate, if the air flows parallel to the 600 mm
side? How would this heat loss be affected if the flow of air is made parallel to the
300 mm side?
An incandescent bulb can be considered as a sphere of 0.06 m dia. The bulb surface
is at 130°C. Air at 30°C flows over it with a velocity of 0.6 m/s. Determine the heat
loss from the bulb surface.

A double pipecounter flow heat exchanger is designed with water flows at the rate of
65 kg/min and is heated from 50°C to75°C by oil flowing through the tube. The
specific heat of the oil is 1.780 kJ/kgK. The oil enters heat exchanger at 115°C and
leaves at 75°C. The overall heat transfer co-efficient is 340 W/m2K. Assume tube
diameter as 25 mm and using LMTD method, determine
(i) Heat transfer rate
(ii) Heat exchanger area
(iii) Length of tube required

In a double pipe heat exchanger hot water flows at a rate of 14 kg/s and gets cooled from
370K to 340K. At the same time 14 kg/s of cooling water at 303K enters the heat
exchanger. The flow conditions are such that overall heat transfer coefficient remains
constant at 2270 W/m2K. Determine the effectiveness and the heat transfer area required,
assuming two streams are in parallel flow.
