Transient heat transfer

Leaking steam completely fills a room, pushing out all of the air. The steam is at atmospheric pressure. Because the mortar cement siding walls are initially cool, at a uniform temperature of 22C, the steam begins to condense on the walls. Find the rate of condensation per square meter of wall at (a) 10 s and (b) 30 s after the leak.

The wall is 10 cm thick, and you may assume that the other side of the wall, the side not in contact with the steam, is insulated. You may make the following simplifying assumptions:

• The convective heat transfer rate due to steam condensation is infinitely high and remains constant

• The effects of radiation are negligible.

An air compressor rapidly fills a 0.3m3 tank (there is no heat transfer through the tank walls), initially containing air at 27 ?C, 1 atm, with air drawn from the atmosphere at 27? ?C, 1 atm. During filling, the relationship between the pressure and specific volume of the air in the tank is pv1.4 = constant. You can model the air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats at 300K.

A heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from a steam stream to a chlorine gas stream. 100 kg of steam at 1 bar and 250°C enters the heat exchanger and leaves the exchanger as saturated steam at 1 bar. Chlorine gas enters the exchanger at 1 bar and 33.0°C and leaves the exchanger at 132.0°C. Assume the heat exchanger is adiabatic. A)What is the specific enthalpy of the inlet steam stream? (Use liquid water at 0.01°C as a reference...

Consider the transient heat transfer of a solid object suddenly exposed to an unbounded flow at different temperature. Based on the Lumped-heat capacity model (LHCM), the response time of heat transfer to the solid can be used to determine the convective heat transfer coefficient. Assume that the solid initial temperature, the ambient fluid temperature, and a temperature at the center of solid at a given time (after the exposure) are measurable. (1) Ignoring the radiation, derive an equation to correlate...

Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) in a heat exchanger that uses steam to heat water to the point of vaporization (in vacuum.)
Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) in a heat exchanger that uses steam to heat water to the point of vaporization (in vacuum.) The system is non-insulated, so the heat lost to the surroundings must be taken into consideration. While I know that the heat Q = mCdT and the heat transfer rate q = UAdT(Log-mean), I am struggling to equate the two due to the heat lost to the surroundings. How do I go about determining the overall...
