Water is entering a heated tube at mass ow rate of 1.2 kg/s. The temperature at the inlet is
20 C and at the outlet is 80 C. Assume the surface temperature of the tube is 100 C. The convection
coe cient of the water ow is 28 W=m2 C. The speci c heat and density of water can be assumed to
be 4180 J=kg C and 990 kg=m3. What is the rate of heat transfer to water during this proces
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion,and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems. How do you connect it with thermodynamics and why is it necessary for us, mechanical engineers, to study it?
How does the rate of heat transfer by conduction change when all spatial dimensions are doubled?

- The boiling temperature of nitrogen at atmosphericpressure at sea level (1 atm) is -196°C. Therefore, nitrogenis commonly used in low-temperature scientific studies sincethe temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the atmosphereremains constant at -196°C until the liquid nitrogen inthe tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank results inthe evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heatof vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at1 atm.Consider a 4-m-diameter spherical tank initially filledwith liquid nitrogen at 1 atm and -196°C. The tank isexposed to 20°C ambient air with a heat transfer coefficientof 25 W/m2·K. The temperature of the thin-shelled sphericaltank is observed to be almost the same as the temperatureof the nitrogen inside.
