Heat & Mass Transfer Tutorial: 6

Forced Convection: Internal Flow


1. For flow of liquid metal through a circular tube, the velocity and the temperature profiles at a
particular axial location may be approximated as being uniform and parabolic, respectively. That
is, u(r) = C1 and T(r) - Ts = C2[1 - (r/ro)2], where C1 and C2 are constants. What is the value of the
Nusselt number NuD at that location. [8]
2. Hot air flows with a mass rate of m = 0.05 kg/s through an uninsulated sheet metal duct of
diameter D = 0.15 m, which is in the crawlspace of a house. The hot air enters at 103°C and, after a
distance of L = 5 m, cools to 77°C. The heat transfer co-efficient between the duct outer surface
and the ambient air at 0°C is known to be h o = 6 W/m2K. Calculate the heat loss from the duct over
the length L. Also, determine the heat flux and the duct surface temperature at x = L. [-1313 W,
50.7°C]
3. One concept used for solar energy collection involves placing a tube at the focal point of a
parabolic reflector and passing a fluid through the tube. The net effect of this arrangement may be
approximated as one of creating a condition of uniform heating at the surface of the tube. Consider
operation with a tube of diameter D = 60 mm on a sunny day for which q s" = 2000 W/m2. If
pressurized water enters the tube at m = 0.01 kg/s and T m,i = 20°C, what tube length L is required to
obtain an exit temperature of 80°C? What is the surface temperature at the outlet of the tube, where
fully developed conditions may be assumed to exist? [6.65 m, 121°C]
4. Hot air at atmospheric pressure and 80°C enters an 8-m-long uninsulated square duct of cross-
section 0.2 m × 0.2 m that passes through the attic of a house at a rate of 0.15 m 3/s. the duct is
observed to be nearly isothermal at 60°C. Determine the exit temperature of the air and the rate of
heat loss from the duct to the attic space. [71.3°C, -1313 W]
