TUTORIAL 09 - Condensation and Boiling
1. A 2 mm diameter cylindrical metal rod with emissivity of 0.5 is submerged horizontally in
water under atmospheric pressure. When electric current is passed through the metal rod, the surface temperature reaches 500 C. Determine the power dissipation per unit length of the metal rod.
2. A 65 cm long, 2 cm diameter brass heating element is to be used to boil water at 120 C. If the surface temperature of the heating element is not to exceed 125 C, determine the highest rate of steam production in the boiler, in kg/h.
3. Water is to be boiled at atmospheric pressure on a 2 cm diameter mechanically polished
steel heater. Determine the maximum heat flux that can be attained in the nucleate boiling regime and the surface temperature of the heater surface in that case.
4. To understand the burnout phenomenon, boiling experiments are conducted in water at
atmospheric pressure using an electrically heated 30 cm long, 4 mm diameter nickel-plated horizontal wire. Determine (a) the critical heat flux and (b) the increase in the temperature of the wire as the operating point jumps from the nucleate boiling to the film boiling regime at the critical heat flux. Take the emissivity of the wire to be 0.3.
5. Saturated steam at 1 atm condenses on a 2-m high and 10-m wide vertical plate that is maintained at 90 C by circulating cooling water through the other side. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer by condensation to the plate, and (b) the rate at which the condensate drips off the plate at the bottom.
6. Saturated ammonia vapor
at 10 C condenses on the outside of a 4 cm outer diameter, 15 m long horizontal tube whose outer surface is maintained at -10 C. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer from the ammonia and (b) the rate of condensation of ammonia.
