Refrigerant 134a enters a horizontal pipe operating at steady state at 40oC, 300 kPaand a velocity of 40 m/s. At the exit, the t

emperature is 50oC and the pressure is 240 kPa. The pipe diameter is 0.04 m. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/s, (b) the velocity at the exit, in m/s, and (c) the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings, in kW

Answer:

1. Mass flow rate = 0.621Kg/s

2. Velocity = 52.2m/s

3. Rate = +6.82kW

Explanation:

Given

Refrigerant = R134a

Diameter, d = 0.04m

T1 = 40°C

P1 = 300kPa

V1 = 40m/s

T2 = 50°C

P2 = 240kPa

a.

The specific volume of refrigerant R134a at T1 and P1 from Refrigerant table (A12) = v1 = 0.08089 m³/kg

The specific volume of refrigerant R134a at T2 and P2 from Refrigerant table (A12) = v2 = 0.10562 m³/kg.

Mass flow rate is calculated as follows...

= AV/v

Where A = Area =πd²/4

V = velocity = ,40

v = v1 = 0.08089 m³/kg.

So. Mass flow rate= (π * 0.04²/4 * 40 ) / 0.0809

Mass flow rate = 0.621Kg/s

b.

Calculating Velocity at the exit.

This is given as;

m * v2 / A

0.621 * 0.10562 / (π * 0.04²/4)

= 52.2m/s

c. Calculating the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings

From energy equation, we have.

Q -> m * [(h2 - h1) + ((,V2² - V1²)/2)]

Where h2 is the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T1 and P1

h2 = 234.05 Kj/Kg

And h1 is the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T2 and P2

h2 = 244.47 Kj/Kg

Rate = the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T1 and P1

h2 = 234.05 Kj/Kg

Rate = 0.621[(234.05 - 244.47) + (52.2² - 40²)/2]

Rate = 0.621[(234.05 - 244.47) +

562.42] --- Convert the kW

Rate = 0.621((244.47 - 234.05) +

562.42/1000)

Rate = +6.82kW

. Air at 200 C blows over a 50 cm x 75 cm plain carbon steel (AISI 1010) hot plate with a constant surface temperature of 2500 C
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The inside temperature, T_{in} is approximately 248 °C.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Temperature of the air = 20°C

Carbon steel surface temperature 250°C

Area of surface = 50 cm × 75 cm = 0.5 × 0.75 = 0.375 m²

Convection heat transfer coefficient = 25 W/(m²·K)

Heat lost by radiation = 300 W

Assumption,

Air temperature = 20 °C

Hot plate temperature = 250 °C

Thermal conductivity K = 65.2 W/(m·K)

Steady state heat transfer process

One dimensional heat conduction

We have;

Newton's law of cooling;

q = h×A×(T_s - T_{\infty) + Heat loss by radiation

= 25×0.325×(250 - 20) + 300

= 2456.25 W

The rate of energy transfer per second is given by the following relation;

P = \dfrac{K \times A \times \Delta T}{L}

Thermal conductivity K = 65.2 W/(m·K)

Therefore;

2456.25  = \dfrac{65.2 \times 0.375 \times (250 - T_{in})}{0.02}

T_{in} = 250 - \dfrac{2456.25  \times 0.02}{65.2 \times 0.375} = 247.99 ^{\circ}C

The inside temperature, T_{in} = 247.99 °C  ≈ 248 °C.

If a shear stress acts in one plane of an element, there must be an equal and opposite shear stress acting on a plane that is
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

90 degrees

Explanation:

In the case when the sheer stress acts in the one plane of an element so it should be equal and opposite also the shear stress acted on a plan i.e. 90 degrees from the plane

Therefore as per the given situation it should be 90 degrees from the plane

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant too
