You are heating airflow in a long, round tube. The tube is irradiated uniformly, on all sides, with a constant thermal heat flux q". Inside the tube, the air flows with a known heat flux mdot and constant, known properties. The tube has a length L and a diameter D. This is your baseline case. You then add a helical coil inside the tube that stirs up the airflow and doubles the value of h over the baseline case. a) How does the design change impact the temperature of the airflow? b) How does the design change impact the temperature of the tube wall

Steam in a heating system flows through tube whose outer diameter is 10 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 150°C. Circular aluminum alloy 2024-T6 fins (k = 186 W/m · °C) of outer diameter 15 cm and constant thickness 2 mm are attached to the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at T∞ = 25°C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/m2 C . If the total tube length is 5 m and...

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...

A speaker is placed at the opening of a long horizontal tube. The speaker oscillates at a frequency of f creating a wave that moves down the tube. The wave moves through the tube at a speed of v=330 m/s.  At time t= 0s an air molecule at x=1m is at the maximum displacement of 5 nm. At the same time another molecule at x=3.7m has a displacement of 3.5nm. What is the wave function of the sound?
