- 2. Engine oil (similar to oil C) flows at 1.2 ft/s through a 1-inch diameter tube. The bulk oil temperature is 190 F and the tube surface temperature is 210 F. Determine the unit convective coefficient for a tube length of 10 ft. If the tube length is doubled, what is the percentage increase (or decrease) in the film coefficient? Let k = 0.96 Btu-in/hr-ft2-F and c = 0.52 Btu/lb-F for the oil. *arrow_forward5. Steam condensing on the outer surface of a thin-walled circular tube of 50 mm diameter and 6 m length maintains a uniform surface temperature of 100 C. Water flows through the tube at a rate of m= 0.25 kg/s, and its inlet and outlet temperatures are Tmi = 15 C and Tmo = 57C. What is the average convection coefficient associated with the water flow?

- The condenser of a steam power plant consists of AISI 302 Stainless steel tubes, each with outer and inner diameters of 35 mm and 30 mm, respectively. Saturated steam at 0.135 bar condenses on the outer surface of the tube, while water at a mean temperature of 295 K is in fully developed flow through the tube (you can assume that 295 K is the mean temperature in the axial direction of the tube (e.g. along its length) or you may assume that the inlet water temperature is 295 K). For a water mass flow rate of 0.22 kg/s, what is the outer surface temperature of the tube and the rates of heat transfer and steam condensation per unit tube length? As an approximation you may evaluate the properties of the liquid film at the saturation temperature.arrow_forwardAS& Heat Transfer in Steam Heater Water at an average of 70°F is fiowing in a 2-in. steel pipe, schedule 40.
