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.

erastovalidia [21]

A probability contour represents a bounded, finite volume about a nucleus in which there is a substantial probability of finding the electron is TRUE.

The rectangular of the wave characteristic, ψ2 , represents the opportunity of locating an electron in a given vicinity within the atom. probability finding electron at nucleus is zero.

An orbital is a mathematical feature that has a fee at all points in space. The magnitude squared of that fee is the chance according to volume of locating an electron in that volume of area.

The probability of locating electron in nodes is 0, but there are electron densities on all round nodes. The node is a point or a floor (relying at the type of node) so the volume of the vicinity wherein ψ=zero is zero. we want to position V=zero and we get P=zero so the chance of finding the electron on the node is zero.

The highest speed attained by a cyclist on level ground is 105 km/h. To attain this speed, the cyclist used a streamlined recumb
omeli [17]

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build the final speed is 219.32 s

Explanation:

Given;

final speed of the cyclist, v = 105 km/h = 29.17 m/s²

distance traveled by the cyclist, d = 3.2 km = 3,200 m

initial speed, u = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the acceleration of the cyclist;

v² = u² + 2as

(29.17 )² = 0 + (2 x 3200)a

850.89 = 6400a

a = (850.89 ) / (6400)

a = 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build up the final speed is given by;

v = u + at

29.17 = 0 + (0.133)t

t = 29.17 / 0.133

t = 219.32 s
