Airflow through a long, 0.15-m-square air conditioning duct maintains the outer duct surface temperature at 10°C. If the horizontal duct is uninsulated and exposed to air at 35°C in the crawlspace beneath a home, what is the heat gain per unit length of the duct? Evaluate the properties of air at 300 K. For the sides of the duct, use the more accurate Churchill and Chu correlations for laminar flow on vertical plates.

What is the Rayleigh number for free convection on the outer sides of the duct? 7709251

What is the free convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer sides of the duct, in W/m²·K? 4.87

What is the Rayleigh number for free convection on the top of the duct? 965073

What is the free convection heat transfer coefficient on the top of the duct, in W/m²·K? NEED HELP HERE

What is the free convection heat transfer coefficient on the bottom of the duct, in W/m²·K? NEED HELP HERE

What is the total heat gain to the duct per unit length, in W/m? NEED HELP HERE

I cant figure out 4,5 and 6. I swear they are correct but the online homework won't take it.

Air (280 K and atmospheric pressure) enters a 3-m-long rectangular duct (0.15 m by 0.075 m) whose surface temperature is at 400 K. Air mass flow rate is 0.10 kg/s. Find the heat transfer and the outlet temperature. Use the Sieder-Tate equation to solve for the heat transfer coefficient.

Air flows through a constant area duct. The pressure and temperature of the air at the...

Air flows through a constant area duct. The pressure and temperature of the air at the inlet to the duct are P1 = 100 kPa absolute, and T1 = 298 K, respectively. Inlet Mach number is M1 = 0.1. Heat is transferred to the air as it flows through the duct and as a result the Mach number at the exit increases. Write a Matlab code and plot the following: a) Find the pressure and temperature at the exit, while...

Air flows through a heating duct with a square cross-section with 5-inch sides at a speed...

Air flows through a heating duct with a square cross-section with 5-inch sides at a speed of 5.3 ft/s. Just before reaching an outlet in the floor of a room, the duct widens to assume a square cross-section with sides equal to 13 inches. Compute the speed of the air flowing into the room (in ft/s), assuming that we can treat the air as an incompressible fluid. Answer should be in Ft/s

Air flows through a short duct with a smooth inside surface and gradually changing flow area. The measured flow rate is equal to 288 lbm/min. At the duct inlet, the temperature is equal to 82 deg F, and the pressure is equal to 15 psia. The inlet velocity is equal to 924 ft/s. At the duct exit, the pressure is equal to 21.7 psia. (I.) Calculate the cross-sectional flow area of the duct inlet. (II.) Estimate the temperature and velocity...

Air flows through a 0.25-m-diameter duct. At the inlet the velocity is 300 m/s, and the stagnation temperature is 90°C. If the Mach number at the exit is 0.3, determine the direction and the rate of heat transfer. For the same conditions at the inlet, determine the amount of heat that must be transferred to the system if the flow is to be sonic at the exit of the duct.
