1000 L/h of oil is heated from 40C to 70 C in a 3 cm ID heated copper tube. The inner surface of the tube
is maintained at 100 C. Since the temperature dependencies of the fluid are not given, the properties
will be assumed constant. Assume the viscosity ratio equal one. The following physical property data
are available for the oil. What is the length of the tube?
?? = 2090?/?? ?
? = 880 ??/?3
? = 0.00062 ??/(? ?)
? = 0.173?/? ?
?? = 7.49

Expert Solution

First we have to determine the heat transfer coefficient using the relation of Nusselt number for the tube flow

After that we determine the LMTD of the heat transfer. By determining the heat required to heat the fluid till the required temperature we can equate the following 2 equation.

So

So by equating the two heat equation we determined the length of the tube

So length of tube

L=3.88 meters

Thanks.. Please Thumbs-up!!

Water is to be heated from 12◦C to 70◦C as it flows through a 2 centimeter internal diameter, 7 meter long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so that in steady operation all of the heat generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot water at...

A sphere of iron is heated up to 1000° C. Once heated, it has a radius of 1 cm. Now suppose that we take the same 1000° C iron sphere and plunge it into a thermally insulated container with 1kg of 0° C ice. Calculate the temperature of the contents of the container once they have come to thermal equilibrium. Additional information: • The density of iron is 7.874 g/cm3. Assume that this density does not depend on temperature. •...

Air flows into a commercial steel pipe of 5 cm ID at 70 m/s. The inlet pressure and temperature of the air are 1 MPa and 100?C, respectively. a) Determine the Mach number at a distance 60 m down the pipe if the flow is adiabatic. b) Calculate the temperature at the same point. How would you comment on the assumption of constant Re, hence constant f, along the pipe by considering the temperature variation?
