An electrical resistance heater embedded in thin walled tube provides 71 kW of uniform heating to increase the water temperature from 25°C to 75°C. Water enters the circular section of diameter 101 in cm, at a velocity 101 in cm/s. Heat loss to the surroundings is perfectly stopped by an insulation on the outer surface of the heater hence, all the heat dissipated by the heater is transferred to the flowing water in the tube. By analyzing the internal flow convection heat transfer and determine the length of the tube and the surface temperature at the exit of tube? The properties of water at the bulk mean temperature are ?= 1000 kg/m3, Cp= 4100 J/kg-K, k=0.631 W/m-K, Pr= 4.32, ?=0.658×10-6 m2/s.

Air enters a thin-walled, 5-mm diameter, 2-m-long tube at a
uniform inlet temperature of 100°C. A constant heat flux is applied
to the air from the tube surface. The mean temperature of air at
halfway along the tube (at 1 m length) is reported as 126°C. If the
tube surface temperature at the exit is 160°C and the local heat
transfer coefficient at the exit is 29.5 W/m^2K, determine
a) the applied heat flux,
b) the rate of energy increase...

A thin-walled tube with a diameter of 6 mm and length of 20 m is
used to carry exhaust gas from a smoke stack to the laboratory in a
nearby building for analysis. The gas enters the tube at 200°C and
with a mass flow rate of 0.001 kg/s. Autumn winds at a temperature
of 15°C blow directly across the tube at a velocity of 7 m/s.
Assume the thermophysical properties of the exhaust gas are those
of air.

An electric space heater has a Nichrome heating element with a
resistance of 6 Ω at 20°C. When 120 V are applied, the electric
current heats the Nichrome wire to 1004°C. The temperature
coefficient of resistivity of Nichrome is 4 x 10-4
K-1.
(a) What is the initial current drawn by the cold heating
element?
(b) What is the resistance of the heating element at 1004°C?
(c) What is the operating wattage of this heater?

A thin-walled capillary tube (diameter=5mm, length=1m) carries
steam at 100degreesC The capillary is covered by a later of
insulation (thermal conductivity=0.10W/mK) and thickness delta.
Assume that the heat transfer coefficient in the outside ir is
25W/m2K and its temp is 25degreesC. Compute and plot the steady
state heat loss from the tube as a function of the thickness of
insulation used for the range 0<delta<2cm
