8. Figure 4 shows a thin-walled tube that is part of an oil cooler. Engine oil enters the tube
23
at the left end at temperature 500C with a flow rate of 0.2 kg/min. The tube is
surrounded by air flowing at a constant temperature of 150C. The thermal properties of
the oil are as follows: Thermal conductivity: kx = 0.156 W/(m-0C), Specific heat:
c = 0.523 W-hr/(kg-0C). The convection coefficient between the thin wall and the
flowing air is h = 300 W/(m2-0C). The tube wall thickness is such that conduction
effects in the wall are to be neglected; that is, the wall temperature is constant through
its thickness and the same as the temperature of the oil in contact with the wall at any
position along the length of the tube. Using four two-node finite elements, obtain an
approximate solution for the temperature distribution along the length of the tube and
determine the heat removal rate via convection. [10]
