Problems: External Flow

1) Air @ atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 225 OC flows over a flat plate with a velocity of 6 m/s.
The plate is 15 cm wide and is maintained at a temperature of 75 OC . Calculate the thickness of the velocity
and thermal boundary layers and the local heat transfer coefficient at a distance of 0.5 m from the leading edge.
Also calculate the drag force exerted on the plate and the rate of heat transfer to the plate over length of 0.5 m.
Assume that there is flow over both sides of the plate.
2) Air at one atmosphere and 350 K flows across a 25 cm square plate with a free stream velocity of 20 m/s. The
last half of the plate is heated to a constant temperature of 400 K. Calculate the heat lost by the plate.
3) A 10 cm square plate has an electric heater installed which produces a constant heat flux. Water at 10 OC
flows across the plate at a velocity of 2 m/s. What is the total heat which can be dissipated if the plate
temperature is not to exceed 80 OC.
4) Air at 20 OC and one atmosphere pressure flows across a heated cylinder, 75 mm in diameter, with a velocity
of 1.2 m/s. Calculate the heat transfer rate if the cylinder surface is maintained at a temperature of 80 OC.
5) Air at 30 OC and at one atmosphere pressure flows over a long-heated cylinder (5 cm dia.), whose surface is
maintained at 70 OC. The direction of the air flow is at right angles to the axis of the cylinder. Using Hilpert’s
correlation, calculate the average heat transfer coefficient if the velocity is (a) 2 m/s; and (b) 20 m/s.
Problems: Internal Flow

1) Water flowing at the rate of 1 m/s at a temperature of 50 OC enters a 1.5 cm diameter tube. The wall is at
80 OC. Calculate the length of the tube if the exit water temperature is 60 OC.
2) Air at one atmosphere and 100 OC enters a 4 cm dia., 2 m long tube with a velocity of 9 m/s. A 1 kW electric
heater is wound on the outer surface of the tube. Find (a) the mass flow rate of air; (b) the exit temperature of
the air; and (c) the wall temperature at the outlet assuming uniform heat generation.
3) Water is heated while flowing through a 1.5 X 3.5 cm rectangular cross section tube at a velocity of 1.2 m/s.
The entering temperature of the water is 40 OC and the tube wall is maintained at 85 OC. Determine the length
of the tube required for raising the temperature of the water by 30 OC.
4) Water at 60 OC enters a tube of 2.54 cm diameter at a mean velocity of 1.8 cm/s. Calculate the exit water
temperature if the tube is 3 m long and the wall temperature is maintained at 75 OC.
5) Air at 300 K and what one atmosphere enters a smooth tube having a diameter of 2 cm and length of 10 cm
the air velocity is 35 m/s. What constant flux must be applied at the tube surface to result in an air temperature
rise of 6 OC? What average wall temperature would be necessary for this case?
