In a boiler of a steam power plant the incoming water is heated to steam by hot gas flowing around the tube. The hot gas is produced by combustion of coal. Consider the pressure of water flowing through the tube to be 4 MPa. Water enters the tube at a velocity of 0.1 m/s and a temperature of 50 °C. The tube diameter is 2.5 cm. The hot gas flowing around the tube is at 1000 °C. The water needs to reach the saturation temperature of 250 °C. Assuming bulk mean temperature of water to be 600 °C, and the determine the average convective heat transfer coefficient to be 80 W/m².K, determine what should be the length of the pipe.

The compressed air requirements of a textile factory are met by a large compressor that draws in 0.6 m3/s air at atmospheric conditions of 20°C and 1 bar (100 kPa) and consumes 300 kW electric power when operating. Air is compressed to a gage pressure of 8 bar (absolute pressure of 900 kPa), and compressed air is transported to the production area through a 15-cm-internal-diameter, 83-m-long, galvanized steel pipe with a surface roughness of 0.15 mm. The average temperature of compressed air in the pipe is 60°C. The compressed air line has 8 elbows with a loss coefficient of 0.6 each. If the compressor efficiency is 85 percent, determine the pressure drop and the power wasted in the transportation line.
A pump increases the water presssure from 8kPa at the inlet to 700 kPa at the outlet. Water enters this pump at 41.51 degrees celsius through a 1.145-cm-diameter opening and exits through a 2.821-cm-diameter opening. Determine the velocity of the water at the outlet in m/s when the mass flow rate through the pump is 1.354kg/s. The specific volume of incoming water is 1.547x10-3m3/kg.

A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 10-gal bucket. The inner diameter of the hose is 2.0cm, and it reduces to 0.8 cm at the nozzle exit. If it takes 50 seconds to fill the bucket with water, determine the mass flow rates of water through the hose.
The compressed air requirements of a textile factory are met by a large compressor that draws in 0.6 m3/s air at atmospheric conditions of 20°C and 1 bar (100 kPa) and consumes 300 kW electric power when operating. Air is compressed to a gage pressure of 8 bar (absolute pressure of 900 kPa), and compressed air is transported to the production area through a 15-cm-internal-diameter, 83-m-long, plastic (smooth) pipes with a surface roughness of 0.15 mm. The average temperature of compressed air in the pipe is 60°C. The compressed air line has 8 elbows with a loss coefficient of 0.6 each. In order to reduce the head losses in the piping and thus the power wasted, someone suggests doubling the diameter of the 83-m-long compressed air pipes. Calculating the reduction in wasted power, and determine if this is a worthwhile idea. Considering the cost of replacement, does this proposal make sense to you?

The compressed air requirements of a manufacturing facility are met by a 120-hp compressor that draws in air from the outside through an 9-m-long, 22-cm-diameter duct made of thin galvanized iron sheets. The compressor takes in air at a rate of 0.27 m3/s at the outdoor conditions of 15°C and 95 kPa. Disregarding any minor losses, determine the useful power used by the compressor to overcome the frictional losses in this duct.
