The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined for a fluid flowing in a pipe as Re Durho/μ whereD is pipe diameter, u is f

luid velocity, rho is fluid density, and μ is fluid viscosity.When the value of the Reynolds number is less than about 2100, the flow is laminar—that is, the fluid flows in smooth streamlines. For Reynolds numbers above 2100, the flow is turbulent, characterized by a great deal of agitation. Liquid methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) flows through a pipe with an inner diameter of 2.067 inches at an average velocity of 0.48 ft/s. At the fluid temperature of 20°C the density of liquid MEK is 0.805 g/cm3 and the viscosity is 0.43 centipoise [1 cP 1:00 103 kg/ m s]. Without using a calculator, determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Show your calculations.

Answer:

the flow is turbulent

Explanation:

The Reynolds number is given by

Re=ρVD/μ

where

V=fluid speed=0.48ft/s=0.146m/s

D=diameter=2.067in=0.0525m

ρ=density=0.805g/cm^3=805Kg/m^3

μ=0.43Cp=4.3x10^-4Pas

Re=(805)(0.146)(0.0525)/4.3x10^-4=14349.59

Re>2100  the flow is turbulent

Note: if you do not want to use a calculator you can use the graphs to calculate the Reynolds number according to their properties

A slight breeze is blowing over the hot tub above and yields a heat transfer coefficient h of 20 W/m2 -K. The air temperature is
patriot [66]

Answer:4050 W

Explanation:

Given

Heat transfer Coefficient(h)=20 W/m^2-K

Air temperature =75 F

surface area(A)=7.5 m^2

Temperature of hot tube is 102 F

We know heat transfer due to convection is given by

Q=hA\left ( \Delta T\right )

Q=20\times 7.5\left ( 102-75\right )=4050 W

Steam at 1 MPa, 300 C flows through a 30 cm diameter pipe with an average velocity of 10 m/s. The mass flow rate of this steam i
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\dot m = 2.74 kg/s

Explanation:

given data:

pressure 1 MPa

diameter of pipe  =  30 cm

average velocity = 10 m/s

area of pipe= \frac[\pi}{4}d^2

                 = \frac{\pi}{4} 0.3^2

A = 0.070 m2

WE KNOW THAT mass flow rate is given as

\dot m = \rho A v

for pressure 1 MPa, the density of steam is = 4.068 kg/m3

therefore we have

\dot m = 4.068 * 0.070* 10

\dot m = 2.74 kg/s

Nataly [62]

Answer:

1) The exergy of destruction is approximately 456.93 kW

2) The reversible power output is approximately 5456.93 kW

Explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

P₁ = 8 MPa

T₁ = 500°C

From which we have;

s₁ = 6.727 kJ/(kg·K)

h₁ = 3399 kJ/kg

P₂ = 2 MPa

T₂ = 350°C

From which we have;

s₂ = 6.958 kJ/(kg·K)

h₂ = 3138 kJ/kg

P₃ = 2 MPa

T₃ = 500°C

From which we have;

s₃ = 7.434 kJ/(kg·K)

h₃ = 3468 kJ/kg

P₄ = 30 KPa

T₄ = 69.09 C (saturation temperature)

From which we have;

h₄ = h_{f4} + x₄×h_{fg} = 289.229 + 0.97*2335.32 = 2554.49 kJ/kg

s₄ =  s_{f4} + x₄×s_{fg} = 0.94394 + 0.97*6.8235 ≈ 7.563 kJ/(kg·K)

The exergy of destruction, \dot X_{dest}, is given as follows;

\dot X_{dest} = T₀ × \dot S_{gen} = T₀ × \dot m × (s₄ + s₂ - s₁ - s₃)

\dot X_{dest} = T₀ × \dot W×(s₄ + s₂ - s₁ - s₃)/(h₁ + h₃ - h₂ - h₄)

∴ \dot X_{dest} = 298.15 × 5000 × (7.563 + 6.958 - 6.727 - 7.434)/(3399 + 3468 - 3138  - 2554.49) ≈ 456.93 kW

The exergy of destruction ≈ 456.93 kW

2) The reversible power output, \dot W_{rev} = \dot W_{} + \dot X_{dest} ≈ 5000 + 456.93 kW = 5456.93 kW

The reversible power output ≈ 5456.93 kW.
