Roll no.: BT22CME051

Q1. A longitudinal copper fin (k=380 W/m℃) 550mm long and 4mm
in diameter is exposed to air stream at 25℃. The convective heat
transfer coefficient is 18W/m2 ℃. If the fin base temperature is
180℃, determine:
I. The heat transferred
II. The efficiency of the fin.

Solution. Length of the fin, l = 550mm = 0.55m


Diameter of the fin, d = 3mm = 0.004m
The fin base temperature, t0 = 180℃
Air stream temperature, ta = 25℃
Thermal conductivity of fin material, k = 380W/m℃
Convective heat transfer coefficient h = 18W/m2 ℃
I. The heat transferred, Q:
Neglecting the heat loss from the end surface, the heat transfer
from the fin is given by
Q = kAcsm(t0 – ta)tanh(ml)

= 0.2639 or 26.39%

Q2. The following data relate to a parallel flow heat exchanger in


which air is heated by hot exhaust gases.

Heat transferred per hour = 156000 KJ

Inside heat transfer coefficient = 130W/m2℃

Outside heat transfer coefficient = 210 W/m2℃

Inlet and outlet temperatures of the hot fluid are 500℃ and 200℃
respectively

Inlet and outlet temperatures of the cold fluid are 50℃ and 110℃
respectively

Inside and outside diameters of the tube are 55mm and 70mm

Calculate the length of the tube required for the necessary heat
transfer to occur. Neglect the tube resistance.
