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.

A mass-spring system has k = 56.8 N/m and m = 0.46 kg.
andriy [413]

Answer:

A. \omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B. f=1.7685\ Hz

C. T=0.5654\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant, k=56.8\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass attached, m=0.46\ kg

A)

for a spring-mass system the frequency is given as:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{56.8}{0.46}}

\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B)

frequency is given as:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f=\frac{11.1121}{2\pi}

f=1.7685\ Hz

C)

Time period of a simple harmonic motion is given as:

T=\frac{1}{f}

T=0.5654\ s
