Air is to be heated by passing it across the tubes of an in-line tube bundle consisting of 8 rows of 25 mm OD tubes in the direction of flow and 10 tubes in each row normal to the flow. Air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 30 °C and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 10 m/s. The tube spacing is 37.5 mm in both parallel and normal to the flow. Calculate the heat transfer from the bundle per m of length when the tube surface temperature is 90 °C.

Question
Air is to be heated by passing it across the tubes of an in-line tube bundle consisting of 8 rows of 25
mm OD tubes in the direction of flow and 10 tubes in each row normal to the flow. Air approaches
the tube bank in the normal direction at 30 °C and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 10 m/s. The tube
spacing is 37.5 mm in both parallel and normal to the flow. Calculate the heat transfer from the bundle
per m of length when the tube surface temperature is 90 °C.
