Answer:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Explanation:
Non horizontal pipe diameter, d = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Radius, r = 0.25/2 = 0.125 m
Entry temperature, T₁ = 304 + 273 = 577 K
Exit temperature, T₂ = 284 + 273 = 557 K
Ambient temperature,
Pipe length, L = 10 m
Area, A = 2πrL
A = 2π * 0.125 * 10
A = 7.855 m²
Mass flow rate,
Rate of heat transfer,
a) To calculate the convection coefficient relationship for heat transfer by convection:
Note that we cannot calculate the heat loss by the pipe to the environment without first calculating the surface temperature of the pipe.
c) The surface temperature of the pipe:
Smear coefficient of the pipe,
b) Heat loss from the pipe to the environment:
d) The required fan control power is 25.125 W as calculated earlier above
