The components of an electronic system dissipating 150 W are located in a 5-ft-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 6 in x 6 in. The components in the duct are cooled by forced air, which enters at 85°F at a rate of 22 cfm and leaves at 100°F. The surfaces of the sheet metal duct are not painted, and thus radiation heat transfer from the outer surfaces is negligible. The ambient air temperature is 80°F. Use the property tables to calculate the properties of air at the film temperature. Assume the fan fails and thus all heat generated inside the duct must be rejected to the ambient air by natural convection through the outer surfaces of the duct. Evaluate air properties at a film temperature of 120°F and 1 atm pressure. k = 0.01576 Btu/h-ft-°F v= 0.1923 x 10-3 ft²/s Pr = 0.723 NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. 80°F 85°F 22 cfm Natural convection 150 W Sf 100°F Determine the average temperature of the duct. Calculate for one iteration and evaluate the result. The average temperature of the duct is 101.4 °F.

The hot water needs of a household are to be met by heating water at 15°C to 95°C by a parabolic solar collector at a rate of 1.8 kg/s. Water flows through a 4-cm-diameter thin aluminum tube whose outer surface is blackanodized in order to maximize its solar absorption ability. The centerline of the tube coincides with the focal line of the collector, and a glass sleeve is placed outside the tube to minimize the heat losses. If solar energy is transferred to water at a net rate of 200 W per meter length of the tube, determine the required length of the parabolic collector to meet the hot water requirements of this house. Also, determine the surface temperature of the tube at the exit.
