A completely enclosed stirred-tank heating process isused to heat an incoming stream whose flow rate varies.The heating rate from this coil and the volume are both constant.(a)Develop a mathematical model (differential and algebraic equations) that describes the exit temperature if heat losses tothe ambient occur and if the ambient temperature (Ta)and the incoming stream’s temperature (Ti) both can vary.(b)Discuss qualitatively what you expect to happen as Ti and w increase (or decrease). Justify by reference to your model. ρ and Cρ are constants.U, the overall heat transfer coefficient, is constant.As is the surface area for heat losses to ambient.Ti>Ta(inlet temperature is higher than ambient tempera-ture).

- A copper sphere initially at a uniform temperature To is immersed in a fluid. Electric heaters are placed in the fluid and controlled so that the temperature of the fluid follows a periodic variation given by Too - Tm A sin wt where Tm = time-average mean fluid temperature A = amplitude of temperature wave @= frequency Derive an expression for the temperature of the sphere as a function of time and the heat-transfer coefficient from the fluid to the sphere. Assume that the temperares of the sphere and fluid are uniform at any instant so that the lumped-capacity method of analysis may be used.arrow_forwardLiquid food is flowed through an uninsulated pipe at 90 ° C.
