Question
Air at 1 atm (abs) is flowing through a tube having an inside
diameter of 50 mm at a velocity of 15 m/s, average temperature
of 350 K. The inside wall temperature is held constant at 400 K
by steam condensing outside the tube wall.
(a)
(i)
Calculate the heat transfer coefficient.
(ii)
How will the heat transfer coefficient change if increasing
the flow velocity and why?
(b) Water at 1 atm flows inside a tube of 15 cm diameter under
local boiling conditions where the tube wall temperature is 18°C
above the saturation temperature.
(i)
Estimate the heat transfer rate in a 2 m length of tube.
For the same conditions, the boiling pressure is increased
to 10 atm, estimate the heat transfer rate.
(ii)
(iii) Comment on the effect of pressure on the boiling heat
transfer coefficient and heat transfer rate.
