Heat Transfer Processes and Equipment


Convective Heat Transfer Part 3

1. Hot air at atmospheric pressure and 85°C enters a 10-m-long uninsulated square duct
of cross section 0.15 m × 0.15 m that passes through the attic of a house at a rate of
0.10 m3/s. The duct is observed to be nearly isothermal at 70°C. Determine the exit
temperature of the air and the rate of heat loss from the duct to the air space in the
attic.
[75.7°C, 941 W]

2. Water at 15°C is heated by passing it through 2 cm-internal-diameter thin-walled


copper tubes. Heat is supplied to the water by steam that condenses outside the copper
tubes at 120°C. If water is to be heated to 65°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s, determine the
length of the copper tube that needs to be used. Assume the entire copper tube to be at
the steam temperature of 120°C.

3. A house built on a riverside is to be cooled in summer by utilizing the cool water of


the river, which flows at an average temperature of 15°C. A 15-m-long section of a
circular duct of 20-cm diameter passes through the water. Air enters the underwater
section of the duct at 25°C at a velocity of 3 m/s. Assuming the surface of the duct to
be at the temperature of the water, determine the outlet temperature of air as it leaves
the underwater portion of the duct.
[18.6 °C]

4. Hot exhaust gases leaving a stationary diesel engine at 450°C enter a l5-cm-diameter
pipe at an average velocity of 7.2 m/s. The surface temperature of the pipe is 180°C.
Determine the pipe length if the exhaust gases are to leave the pipe at 250°C after
transferring heat to water in a heat recovery unit. Use properties of air for exhaust
gases.
