Flue gases from an incinerator are released to atmosphere using a stack that is 0.62 m in diameter and 10.0 m high. The outer surface of the stack is at 45°C and the surrounding air is at 10°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the stack, assuming a. there is no wind and, b. the stack is exposed to 21 km/h winds.

Exhaust gases from a manufacturing plant are being discharged through a 10-m-tall exhaust stack with outer diameter of 1.2 m. The exhaust gases are discharged at a rate of 1.2 kg/s, while temperature drop between inlet and exit of the exhaust stack is 30°C, and the constant pressure specific heat of the exhaust gasses is 1600 J/kg·K. On a particular day, wind at 27°C is blowing across the exhaust stack with a velocity of 10 m/s, while the outer surface...

Two gases X and Y are found in the atmosphere in only trace amounts because they decompose quickly. When exposed to ultraviolet light the half-life of X is 90.min, while that of Y is 0.50h. Suppose an atmospheric scientist studying these decompositions fills a transparent 10.0L flask with X and Y and exposes the flask to UV light. Initially, the partial pressure of X is 75.0% greater than the partial pressure of Y. As both gases decompose, will the partial...
(a) Dry saturated steam at a temperature of 180ºC is to be produced in a fire tube boiler from the cooling of 50 000 kg h–1 of flue gases from a pressurised combustion process.
  (a) Dry saturated steam at a temperature of 180ºC is to be produced in a fire tube boiler from the cooling of 50 000 kg h–1 of flue gases from a pressurised combustion process. The gases enter the tubes of the boiler at 1600ºC and leave at 200ºC. The feed water is externally preheated to 180ºC before entering the boiler. The mean specific heat capacity of the flue gases is 1.15 kJ kg–1 K–1. The latent heat of vaporisation...
