- 7.43 Liquid sodium is to be heated from 500 K to 600 K by passing it at a flow rate of 5.0 kg/s through a 5-cmID tube whose surface is maintained at 620 K. What length of tube is required?arrow_forwardA boiler tube (OD = 3.5 in., ID = 2.7 in) contains water at 1250 psia (tsat = 572 0F). The water film coefficient is hi = 2000 Btu/hr.ft2.0F when the heat flux is 52000 Btu/hr.ft2 of the outside tube surface. Determine: (a) the outside tube temperature, (b) the permissible thickness of boiler scale if the metallic temperature is not to exceed 925 deg F. Thermal conductivities are: steel, k = 310 and for scale k = 3.5 Btu-in/hr.ft2.0F. Draw the diagramarrow_forwardA CPU heatsink (fan included) blows room temperature air with a total convective heat transfer coefficient of 28 2/m2K. The air travels over a heatsink comprised of 12 fins 40mm long x 18mm high. If the CPU (intel I7-9700K) has a thermal dissipation of 120W, what must the average surface temperature of the fins be?arrow_forward
- Consider a cross flow engine oil heater that uses ethylene glycol flowing at a temperature of 1108C to heat the oilinitially at 108C. The ethylene glycol enters a tube bank consisting of copper tubes (k 5 250 W/m·K) with staggered arrangement in a 0.5 m 3 0.5 m plenum. The outside diameterof the 0.5-m-long copper tubes is 25 mm and has a wall thickness of 2 mm. The longitudinal and transverse pitch of the rodbundles is 0.035 m each. The engine oil to be heated flowsinside the tubes with a mass flow rate of 4.05 kg/s. Take theheat transfer coefficient of the oil to be 2500 W/m2·K. If theminimum desired exit temperature of oil is 708C and the measured exit temperature of ethylene glycol is 908C, determine(a) mass flow rate of ethylene glycol and (b) number of tuberows.

The heat flux on the upper surface of the channel can be considered uniform and The heat transfer from the surfaces can be neglected. If the velocity of the air in the duct does not exceed (590) m/min and the surface temperature of the duct is constant at 50 °C, this circuit board can be safely placed on it.
