Pure water at 26.1 degres celcius flows at the rate of 5.514x10^-7 m^3/s through a packed bed of benzoic acid spheres having a diameter of 6.375 mm. The total surface area of the spheres in the bed s 0.01198m^2 and the void fraction is 0.436. The tower diameter is 0.0667m. The solubility of benzoic acid is 2.9488x10^-2 kg mol/m^3.

a. What is the mass tranfer coefficient?

b. What is the outlet concentration of benzoic acid in the water?

Water at a local bulk temperature of 24°C flows at 0.8 m/s through a smooth, 1.5-cm-ID tube that is kept at 30°C and the flow is fully developed. a) The system is extremely clean and quiet; therefore, the flow stays laminar regardless of the magnitude of ReD, until a noisy air compressor is turned on in the laboratory. Then the flow suddenly goes turbulent. Calculate the ratio of turbulent to laminar heat transfer coefficients. Use the Gnielinski correlation for turbulent...

Water flows through a shower head steadily at a rate of 8 kg/min. The water is heated in an electric water heater from 158C to 458C. In an attempt to conserve energy, it is proposed to pass the drained warm water at a temperature of 388C through a heat exchanger to preheat the incoming cold water. Design a heat exchanger that is suitable for this task, and discuss the potential savings in energy and money for your area.

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.
