Air at 207 kpa and 200◦c enters a 2.5-cm-id tube at 6 m/s. the tube is constructed ofcopper with a thickness of 0.8 mm and a length of 3 m. atmospheric air at 1 atm and 20◦cflows normal to the outside of the tube with a free-stream velocity of 12 m/s. calculate theair temperature at exit from the tube. what would be the effect of reducing the hot-air flowing half?

Temperature of air at exit = 24.32 C, After reducing hot air the temperature of the exit air becomes = 20.11 C

Explanation:

ρ = P/R(Ti) where ρ is the density of air at the entry, P is pressure of air at entrance, R is the gas constant, Ti is the temperature at entry

ρ = (2.07 x 10⁵)/(287)(473) = 1.525 kg/m³

Calculate the mass flow rate given by

m (flow rate) = (ρ x u(i) x A(i)) where u(i) is the speed of air, A(i) is the area of the tube (πr²) of the tube

m (flow rate) = 1.525 x (π x 0.0125²) x 6 = 4.491 x 10⁻³ kg/s

The Reynold's Number for the air inside the tube is given by

R(i) = (ρ x u(i) x d)/μ where d is the inner diameter of the tube and μ is the dynamic viscosity of air (found from the table at Temp = 473 K)

R(i) = (1.525) x (6) x 0.025/2.58 x 10⁻⁵ = 8866

Calculate the convection heat transfer Coefficient as

h(i) = (k/d)(R(i)^0.8)(Pr^0.3) where k is the thermal conductivity constant known from table and Pr is the Prandtl's Number which can also be found from the table at Temperature = 473 K

h(i) = (0.0383/0.025) x (8866^0.8) x (0.681^0.3) = 1965.1 W/m². C

The fluid temperature is given by T(f) = (T(i) + T(o))/2 where T(i) is the temperature of entry and T(o) is the temperature of air at exit

T(f) = (200 + 20)/2 = 110 C = 383 K

Now calculate the Reynold's Number and the Convection heat transfer Coefficient for the outside

R(o) = (μ∞ x do)/V(f)  where μ∞ is the speed of the air outside, do is the outer diameter of the tube and V(f) is the kinematic viscosity which can be known from the table at temperature = 383 K

R(o) = (12 x 0.0266)/(25.15 x 10⁻⁶) = 12692

h(o) = K(f)/d(o)(0.193 x Ro^0.618)(∛Pr) where K(f) is the Thermal conductivity of air on the outside known from the table along with the Prandtl's Number (Pr) from the table at temperature = 383 K

h(o) = (0.0324/0.0266) x (0.193 x 12692^0.618) x (0.69^1/3) = 71.36 W/m². C

Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient given by

U = 1/{(1/h(i)) + A(i)/(A(o) x h(o))} simplifying the equation we get

U = 1/{(1/h(i) + (πd(i)L)/(πd(o)L) x h(o)} = 1/{(1/h(i) + di/(d(o) x h(o))}

U = 1/{(1/1965.1) + 0.025/(0.0266 x 71.36)} = 73.1 W/m². C

Find out the minimum capacity rate by

C(min) = m (flow rate) x C(a) where C(a) is the specific heat of air known from the table at temperature = 473 K

C(min) = (4.491 x 10⁻³) x (1030) = 4.626 W/ C

hence the Number of Units Transferred may be calculated by

NTU = U x A(i)/C(min) = (73.1 x π x 0.025 x 3)/4.626 = 3.723

Calculate the effectiveness of heat ex-changer using

∈ = 1 - е^(-NTU) = 1 - e^(-3.723) = 0.976

Use the following equation to find the exit temperature of the air

(Ti - Te) = ∈(Ti - To) where Te is the exit temperature

(200 - Te) = (0.976) x (200 - 20)

Te = 24.32 C

The effect of reducing the hot air flow by half, we need to calculate a new value of Number of Units transferred followed by the new Effectiveness of heat ex-changer and finally the exit temperature under these new conditions.

Since the new NTU is half of the previous NTU we can say that

NTU (new) = 2 x NTU = 2 x 3.723 = 7.446

∈(new) = 1 - e^(-7.446) = 0.999

(200 - Te (new)) = (0.999) x (200 - 20)

Te (new) = 20.11 C

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
