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.
Metal plates (k = 150 W/m·K, ρ= 2800 kg/m3, and cp = 900 J/kg·K) with a thickness of 2 cm exiting an oven are conveyed through a 10-m long cooling chamber at a speed of 4 cm/s, as shown in the figure. The plates enter the cooling chamber at an initial temperature of 500°C. The air temperature in the cooling chamber is 15°C, and the plates are cooled with blowing air and the convection heat transfer coefficient is given as a function of the air velocity h(V) = 33V0.8, where h is in W/m2·K and V is in m/s. To prevent any hazard to workers handling the plates, it is necessary to design the cooling process such that the plates exit the cooling chamber at a relatively safe temperature of 50°C or less. Determine the air velocity V and the heat transfer coefficient h such that the temperature of the plates exiting the cooling chamber is at 50C.

The components of an electronic system are located in a 1.5-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 20 cm * 20 cm. The components in the duct are not allowed to come into direct contact with cooling air, and thus are cooled by air at 30°C flowing over the duct with a velocity of 200 m/min. If the surface temperature of the duct is not to exceed 65°C, determine the total power rating of the electronic devices that can be mounted into the duct.
In a gas-fired boiler, water is being boiled at 120°C by hot air flowing through a 5-m-long, 5-cm-diameter tube submerged in water. Hot air enters the tube at 1 atm and 300°C at a mean velocity of 7 m/s and leaves at 150°C. If the surface temperature of the tube is 120°C, determine the average convection heat transfer coefficient of the air and the rate of water evaporation, in kg/h.
