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 spacing between fins is 6 mm then determine:
a. The total number of fins to be installed on tube
b. The increase in heat transfer rate as a result of adding fins
c. Overall effectiveness of the fined surface

Water flows at 20 cm^3/sec through a long straight tube that has an inner diameter of 1 cm. As the water flows, a toxin leaches from the tube into the water. At the inner surface of the tube, the toxin attains its saturation concentration, Csat = 2 mM. Fortunately, upon entering the water the toxin also irreversibly degrades into a non-toxic compound; this degradation follows first-order kinetics. Toxin Diffusivity D = 10^-5 cm^2/sec Toxin mass transfer coefficient k = 1.38...

Liquid bismuth flows at a rate of 4.5 kg/s through a 5.0-cm-diameter stainless-steel tube. The bismuth enters at 415oC and is heated to 440oC as it passes through the tube. If a constant heat flux is maintained along the tube and the tube wall is at a temperature 20oC higher than the bismuth bulk temperature, calculate the length of tube required to effect the heat transfer. For liquid bismuth: ? = 1.34 ?10-3 kg/m· s Cp = 0.149 kJ/kg.oC k...
