Answer:

Add the thermal R values of each wall layer.

Explanation:

Fiberglass insulation R value, sheetrock, sheathing, siding etc. All sum together to one composite opposition to heat transfer/loss.

Q= U x A x Delta T

Q= heat transfer btuh

U= 1/R inverse of resistance

A= area of surface

Delta T is temerature difference across the wall.

Refrigerant-134a enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at 120 psia as a saturated liquid and leaves at 20 psia. D

Shkiper50 [21]

Solution :

$P_1 = 120 \ psia$

$P_2 = 20 \ psia$

Using the data table for refrigerant-134a at P = 120 psia

$h_1=h_f=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_1=u_f=40.5485 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_{sat}=87.745^\circ F$

∴ $h_2=h_1=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

For pressure, P = 20 psia

$h_{2f} = 11.445 \ Btu/lbm$

$h_{2g} = 102.73 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2f} = 11.401 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2g} = 94.3 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_2=T_{sat}=-2.43^\circ F$

Change in temperature, $\Delta T = T_2-T_1$

$\Delta T = -2.43-87.745$

$\Delta T=-90.175^\circ F$

Now we find the quality,

$h_2=h_f+x_2(h_g-h_f)$

$40.8365=11.445+x_2(91.282)$

$x_2=0.32198$

The final energy,

$u_2=u_f+x_2.u_{fg}$

$=11.401+0.32198(82.898)$

$=38.09297 \ Btu/lbm$

Change in internal energy

$\Delta u= u_2-u_1$

= 38.09297-40.5485

= -2.4556

Hot carbon dioxide exhaust gas at 1 atm is being cooled by flat plates. The gas at 220 °C flows in parallel over the upper and l

sergeinik [125]

The local convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge is $0.44 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$ , the average convection heat transfer coefficient over the entire plate is $0.293 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$ and the total heat flux transfer to the plate is $61.6 KJ$ .

Explanation:

It is case of heat and mass transfer in which due to temperature difference between gas and surface. Further temperature boundary layer will developed on flat plate in longitudinal direction.

Hot carbon dioxide exhaust gas

physical properties

$r= 1.05 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}$

$c_p = 1.02 \frac{kJ}{Kg \times K}$

$m= 231 \times 10^{7} \frac{N \times s }{m^2}$

υ = $21.8 \times 10^{6} \frac{m^2}{s}$

$k = 32.5 \times 10^{3} \frac{W}{m \times K}$

$\alpha = 30.1 \times 10^{6} \frac{m^{2}}{s}$

$Pr = 0.725$

Apart from these other data arr given below,

$v= 3 \frac{m}{s} \\ p= 1 atm \\ L_c = 1.5m \\T_g= 220 C \\ T_s = 80 C$

To find the local convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge, we use correlation used for laminar flow over flat plate,

$Nu = \frac{ h \times L }{k} = 0.332 \times (Re^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (Pr^{\frac{1}{3} })$

where h= Average heat transfer coefficient

L= Length of a plate

k= Thermal Conductivity of carbon dioxide

Re = Reynold's Number

Pr = Prandtle Number

(a) Convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge

is referred as local convection heat transfer coefficient.

To find convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from leading edge,

$Nu = \frac{ h_local \times L }{k} = 0.332 \times (Re^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (Pr^{\frac{1}{3} })$

Here, first we have to find Re and Pr,

$Re = \frac{r \times v \times L}{m}$

$Re = \frac{1.0594 \times 3 \times 1}{231 \times 10^{7}}$

$Re = 20.63 \times 10^{-10}$

Pr number is take from physical property data and Pr is 0.725.

Putting value of Re and Pr in main equation,

we get

$Nu = \frac{ h_local \times 1 }{32.5 \times 10^{3}} = 0.332 \times ( (20.63 \times 10^{-10})^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (0.725^{\frac{1}{3} })$

$h_local = 32.5 \times 10^{3} \times 0.332 \times ( (20.63 \times 10^{-10})^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (0.725^{\frac{1}{3} })$

$h_local = 0.44 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$

(b) To find average convection heat transfer coefficient,

it can be find out as case (a), only difference is that instead of L=1 m, L=1.5 m would come,

Therefore,

$Nu = \frac{ h \times 1.5 }{32.5 \times 10^{3}} = 0.332 \times ( (20.63 \times 10^{-10})^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (0.725^{\frac{1}{3} })$

Finally,

$h = \frac{0.44}{1.5}$

$h = 0.293 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$

(C) Total heat flux transfer to the plate is found out by,

$Q = h \times (T_g - T_s)$

$Q = 0.293 \times (220-80) \\ Q= 0.293 \times 140 \\ Q= 61.6 KJ$

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Ammonia gas a hazardous gas to our health, when we are exposed to it for a long time. The gas is lighter than air, that means it's high concentration may not be noticed at the point of leakage, because it flows with the wind direction. Ammonia gas detector are used to determine the concentration of the gas at a particular place. We can use the dispersion modelling software program to know the exact position, where we can place the gas detector, which would be where evacuation is needed.

During evacuation, when the concentration of the gas has increased, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for breathing, and an encapsulated suit should be worn to prevent ammonia from reacting with our sweat or any other chemical burn. A mechanic ventilation will also be needed in the place of evacuation, so that the ammonia concentration in that area can be dispersed.
