One house owner with a pond on his property has decided to use the pond water to cool his house. His idea is to flow air through a thin smooth 10-cm-diameter copper tube that could be submerged into the pond. The water in the pond, at few meters below the surface is typically maintained at a constant temperature of 15°C. If he assumes the air (~1 atm) entering the copper tube at a mean temperature of 30°C with an average velocity of 2.5 m/s, determine the necessary copper tube length that would be needed so that the outlet mean temperature of the air is 20°C. You may consider the convection heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W/m2·K on the outer surface of the copper tube, between the pond water and copper tube. Since the copper tube is thin, the conduction resistance of the tube wall may be neglected.

- How is volume flow rate different than velocity? What happens to volume flow rate in areas where fluid pressure is high?arrow_forwardLiquid mercury is flowing at 0.9kg/s through a 5-cm diameter tube with inlet and outlet mean temperatures of 100°C and 200°C, respectively. The tube surface temperature is maintained constant at 250°C. Determine the tube length using the Dittus-Boelter equation, in m. ______ marrow_forwardAir at atmospheric pressure flowing through a tube of 10 cm diameter at a rate of 0.1 kg/s is to be cooled from 400K to 300K with uniform wall temperature of 250K. Determine the length of the tube. Justify any assumptions that you have made.arrow_forward
- Combustion gases passing through a 5-cm-internal-diameter circular tube are used to vaporize waste water at atmospheric pressure. Hot gases enter the tube at 225 kPa and 250oC at a mean velocity of 2.5 m/s, and leave at 150o If the average heat transfer coefficient is 150 W/m2K and the inner surface temperature of the tube is 110oC, determine (a) the tube length and (b) the rate of evaporation of water.arrow_forwardCan you assist me with the HW problem.arrow_forwardair is flowing inside of a pipe with radius=0.4 meters at a mass velocity of 29.4 kg/s*m2 at 322 K, with the walls of the pipe at 300 K. At the conditions of the experiment, the viscosity of air is 1.984 x 10-5 Pa*s, the density of air is 1.22 kg/m3, the heat capacity is 1 kJ/kg*K, and the thermal conductivity is 0.025 W/m*K. Determine the rate of heat loss by air per meter of duct.arrow_forward
