Question
As shown in Figure (right), air enters a pipe at 25°C, 100 kPa with a
volumetric flow rate of 23 m³/h. On the outer pipe surface is an
electrical resistor covered with insulation. With a voltage of 120 V,
the resistor draws a current of 4 amps. Assuming the ideal gas
model with cp = 1.005 kJ/kg . K for air and ignoring kinetic and
potential energy effects, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the
air, in kg/h, and (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in °C.
