An uninsulated steam pipe with a wall temperature of 140 °C passes through a room of quiescent air of 14 °C. The pipe is horizontal and has an outer diameter of 20 cm. Find the following (include units if needed):

a) The temperature to evaluate properties = __________

b) The Rayleigh number, _____________

c) The heat transfer coefficient, h = ____________

d) q’ along the pipe = ________________

e) The pipe diameter is decreased by 50%. If all other parameters remain the same, will the heat transfer coefficient increase, decrease or stay the same? ___________. Justify your answer mathematically. For air: ν = 20.92 x 10-6 m2/s, α = 29.9 x 10-6 m2/s, 30 x 10-3 W/m·K, Pr = 0.7

A double-pipe heat exchanger is used to condense steam at 40°C saturation temperature. Water at an average bulk temperature of 20°C flows at 2 m/s through the inner tube (copper, 2.54 cm ID, 3.05 cm OD). Steam at its saturation temperature flows in the annulus formed between the outer surface of the inner tube and outer tube of 6 cm ID. The average heat transfer coefficient of the condensing steam is 6,000 W/m2 ? K, and the thermal resistance of...

How much heat in kilojoules is evolved in converting 2.00 mol of steam at 140 ∘C∘C to ice at -20.0 ∘C∘C? The heat capacity of steam is 1.84 J/g∘CJ/g∘C and that of ice is 2.09 J/g∘CJ/g∘C. Remember that if heat is leaving the system, then q is a negative number and if heat is entering the system, then q is a positive number.
