Hot air for a large-scale drying operation is to be produced by routing the air over a tube bank (in orthogonal direction, unmixed), while products of combustion are routed through the tubes. The surface area of the heat exchanger is A = 25 m^2, and for the proposed operating conditions, the manufacturer specifies an overall exchanger of U = 35 W/m^2 K. The air and the combustion gasses may each be assumed to have a specific heat of 1040 J/kgK. Consider conditions for which combustion gasses flowing at 1 kg/s enter the heat exchanger at 800 K, while air at 5 kg/s has an inlet temperature 300 K. Required:
a. What are the air and gas outlet temperatures?
b. After extended operation, deposits on the inner tube surfaces are expected to provide a fouling resistance of 0.004 m^2K/W. Should operation be suspended in order to clean the tubes. Assume that cleaning must be performed if the exchanger performance reduces by more than 10%?

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
