Answer:

Average heat transfer coefficient = 31 kw/m^2 k

Heat transfer rate per meter length of pipe = 116.808 KW

Explanation:

water temperature = 20⁰c,

free-stream velocity = 1.5 m/s

circular pipe diameter = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m

surface temperature = 80⁰c

A) calculate average heat transfer coefficient

we apply the formula below :

m = αAv

A (area) = $\pi /4 (d)^2$

m = 10^3 * $\pi / 4 ( 0.02)^2$ * 1.5

= 10^3 * 0.7857( 0.0004) * 1.5

= 0.4714 kg/s

Average heat transfer coefficient

h = $\frac{m(cp)}{A}$ , A = $\pi DL$

L = 1 m , m = 0.4714 kgs , cp = 4.18

back to equation

h = $\frac{0.4714*4.18}{\pi * 0.02 }$ = 1.970 / 0.0628 = 31.369 ≈ 31 kw/m^2 k

B) Heat transfer rate per meter length of pipe

Q = ha( ΔT ), a = $\pi DL$

= 31 * 0.0628 * ( 80 - 20 )

= 31 * 0.0628 * 60 = 116.808 KW

The water in a large lake is to be used to generate electricity by the installation of a hydraulic turbine-generator at a locati

Lynna [10]

Answer:

a) 0.76

b) 0.80

c) 1964 kW

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

$\dot m = 5000 kg/s$

Assume Mechanical energy at exist is negligible

A) Take lake bottom as reference, and then kinetic and potential energy are taken as zero.

change in mechanical energy is givrn as

$e_{in} - e_{out} = \frac{P}{\rho} - 0 = gh = 9.81 \times 50( \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/s^2}$

= 0.491 kJ/kg

$\Delta \dot E_{mec} = \dot m (e_{in} - e_{out}) = 5000 \times 0.491 = 2455 kW$

$\eta_{OVERALL} = \frac{\dot W}{\Delta \dot E_{mec}} = \frac{1862}{2455} = 0.76$

B) $\eta -{gen} = \frac{\eta_{overall}}{\eta_{gen}} = \frac{0.76}{0.95} = 0.80$

c) $\dot W_{shaft} = \eta_{overall} \left | \Delta \dot E_{mec} \right | = 0.80(2455)$

$\dot W_{shaft} = 1964 kW$

A thick oak wall initially at 25°C is suddenly exposed to gases for which T =800°C and h =20 W/m2.K. Answer the following questi

Schach [20]

Answer:

a) What is the surface temperature, in °C, after 400 s?

T (0,400 sec) = 800°C

b) Yes, the surface temperature is greater than the ignition temperature of oak (400°C) after 400 s

c) What is the temperature, in °C, 1 mm from the surface after 400 s?

T (1 mm, 400 sec) = 798.35°C

Explanation:

oak initial Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

oak exposed to gas of temp = 800°C = 1073 K

h = 20 W/m².K

From the book, Oak properties are e=545kg/m³ k=0.19w/m.k Cp=2385J/kg.k

Assume: Volume = 1 m³, and from energy balance the heat transfer is an unsteady state.

From energy balance: $\frac{T - T_{\infty}}{T_i - T_{\infty}} = Exp (\frac{-hA}{evCp})t$

Initial temperature wall = $T_i$

Surface temperature = T

Gas exposed temperature = $T_{\infty}$

1. A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg = 1.4 W/m*K. If the inn

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. $\dot Q=19600\ W$

2. $\dot Q=120\ W$

Explanation:

1.

Given:

height of the window pane, $h=2\ m$

width of the window pane, $w=1\ m$

thickness of the pane, $t=5\ mm= 0.005\ m$

thermal conductivity of the glass pane, $k_g=1.4\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature of the inner surface, $T_i=15^{\circ}C$

temperature of the outer surface, $T_o=-20^{\circ}C$

<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>

$\dot Q=k_g.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

here:

A = area through which the heat transfer occurs = $2\times 1=2\ m^2$

dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface = $35^{\circ}C$

dx = t = thickness normal to the surface = $0.005\ m$

$\dot Q=1.4\times 2\times \frac{35}{0.005}$

$\dot Q=19600\ W$

2.

air spacing between two glass panes, $dx=0.01\ m$

area of each glass pane, $A=2\times 1=2\ m^2$

thermal conductivity of air, $k_a=0.024\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature difference between the surfaces, $dT=25^{\circ}C$

<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>

$\dot Q=k_a.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=0.024\times 2\times \frac{25}{0.01}$

$\dot Q=120\ W$
