- 3.14 A thin-wall cylindrical vessel (1 m in diameter) is filled to a depth of 1.2 m with water at an initial temperature of 15°C. The water is well stirred by a mechanical agitator. Estimate the time required to heat the water to 50°C if the tank is suddenly immersed in oil at 105°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient between the oil and the water is , and the effective heat transfer surface is .arrow_forwardDetermine the rate of heat transfer per meter length to a light oil flowing through a 2.5-cm-ID, 60-cm-long copper tube at a velocity of 0.03 m/s. The oil enters the tube at 16C, and the tube is heated by steam condensing on its outer surface at atmospheric pressure with a heat transfer coefficient of 11.3 kW/m K. The properties of the oil at various temperatures are listed in the following table: Temperature, T(C) 15 30 40 65 100 (kg/m3) 912 912 896 880 864 c(kJ/kgK) 1.80 1.84 1.925 2.0 2.135 k(W/mK) 0.133 0.133 0.131 0.129 0.128 (kg/ms) 0.089 0.0414 0.023 0.00786 0.0033 Pr 1204 573 338 122 55arrow_forward2.2 A small dam, which is idealized by a large slab 1.2 m thick, is to be completely poured in a short Period of time. The hydration of the concrete results in the equivalent of a distributed source of constant strength of 100 W/m3. If both dam surfaces are at 16°C, determine the maximum temperature to which the concrete will be subjected, assuming steady-state conditions. The thermal conductivity of the wet concrete can be taken as 0.84 W/m K.arrow_forward

On the other side of the heat exchanger wall flows a gas, and the wall has 96 thin rectangular steel fins 0.5 cm thick and 1.25 cm high as shown in the accompanying sketch. The fins are 3 m long and the heat transfer coefficient on the gas side is . Assuming that the thermal resistance of the wall is negligible, determine the rate of heat transfer if the overall temperature difference is .arrow_forward10.8 The heat transfer coefficient of a copper tube (1.9-cm II) and 2.3-em OD) is on the inside and on the outside, but a deposit with a fouling factor of (based on the tube outside diameter) has built up over time. Estimate the percentage increase in the overall heat transfer coefficient if the deposit were removed.arrow_forwardSteam exiting the turbine of a steam power plant at 100°F is to be condensed in a large condenser by cooling water flowing through copper pipes (k = 223 Btu/h·ft·°F) of inner diameter 0.4 in and outer diameter 0.6 in at an average temperature of 70°F. The heat of vaporization of water at 100°F is 1037 Btu/lbm. The heat transfer coefficients are 1500 Btu/ h·ft2·°F on the steam side and 35 Btu/h·ft2·°F on the water side.
