Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 5 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 13

0 ◦C. Circular aluminum alloy 2024-T6 fins (k = 186 W/m · K, ηf = 0.97) of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness 1 mm are attached to the tube. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 250 fins per meter length of the tube. Heat is trans- ferred to the surrounding air at T[infinity] = 25 ◦C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 40 W/m2 · K.
Determine the increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result of adding fins.

Answer:

5945.27 W per meter of tube length.

Explanation:

Let's assume that:

  • Steady operations exist;
  • The heat transfer coefficient (h) is uniform over the entire fin surfaces;
  • Thermal conductivity (k) is constant;
  • Heat transfer by radiation is negligible.

First, let's calculate the heat transfer (Q) that occurs when there's no fin in the tubes. The heat will be transferred by convection, so let's use Newton's law of cooling:

Q = A*h*(Tb - T∞)

A is the area of the section of the tube,

A = π*D*L, where D is the diameter (5 cm = 0.05 m), and L is the length. The question wants the heat by length, thus, L= 1m.

A = π*0.05*1 = 0.1571 m²

Q = 0.1571*40*(130 - 25)

Q = 659.73 W

Now, when the fin is added, the heat will be transferred by the fin by convection, and between the fin and the tube by convection, thus:

Qfin = nf*Afin*h*(Tb - T∞)

Afin = 2π*(r2² - r1²) + 2π*r2*t

r2 is the outer radius of the fin (3 cm = 0.03 m), r1 is the radius difference of the fin and the tube ( 0.03 - 0.025 = 0.005 m), and t is the thickness ( 0.001 m).

Afin = 0.006 m²

Qfin = 0.97*0.006*40*(130 - 25)

Qfin = 24.44 W

The heat transferred at the space between the fin and the tube will be:

Qspace = Aspace*h*(Tb - T∞)

Aspace = π*D*S, where D is the tube diameter and S is the space between then,

Aspace = π*0.05*0.003 = 0.0005

Qspace = 0.0005*40*(130 - 25) = 1.98 W

The total heat is the sum of them multiplied by the total number of fins,

Qtotal = 250*(24.44 + 1.98) = 6605 W

So, the increase in heat is 6605 - 659.73 = 5945.27 W per meter of tube length.

What happened to the balloon when it was placed on the bottle with the baking soda and vinegar and why.
user100 [1]

Answer:

The ballon would be inflated. The reason is that the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda reacts with acetic acid in vinegar to produce gas.

Explanation:

The main component of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}.

Vinegar is mostly a solution of acetic acid {\rm CH_{3}COOH} in water.

Acids such as acetic acid react with carbonate salts. One of the products of such reactions is carbon dioxide {\rm CO_{2}}, a gas.

In this question, when the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the following reaction would occur:

\begin{aligned}& {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COOH}\, (aq) \\ &\to 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COONa}\, (aq) + {\rm CO_{2}}\, (g)\end{aligned}.

The {\rm CO_{2}} produced would then inflate the ballon placed on the opening of the bottle.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5.2941176471 kg or 5294.1 grams

Explanation:

g.p.e= mgh

g.p.e/gh=m

180j/10×3.4= m

180/34= m

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same. (h
PtichkaEL [24]

The light bulb would glow brighter.

<h3>What is Resistance?</h3>

a force that works against a body's direction of motion and seeks to stop or slow down motion, such as friction. a measure of how much a material prevents an electric current from flowing as a result of a voltage.

What is the law of resistance?

Resistance and Ohm's Law. According to Ohm's law, the resistance of the circuit and the current or energy travelling through the resistance are both exactly proportional to the voltage or potential difference between two places.

The current would grow since it is exactly proportionate to the voltage, increasing the light bulb's brilliance, or simply making it brighter.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The downwind side of an obstacle such as a ridge. The addition of weight on top of a snowpack, usually from precipitation, wind drifting, or a person. An avalanche that releases from a point and spreads downhill collecting more snow - different from a slab avalanche. Also called a point-release or sluff.
