Hot air (k = 0.035 W/m-K) at an average temperature of 120oC flows through a 4 m long duct at 10 m/s. The tube has inside dimensions of 40 mm x 200 mm, surface temperature of 20oC, and the Nussalt number is 89. What is the rate of heat transfer from the air to the tube?

Respuesta :

Answer:3.879 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Cross-section of duct [tex]A=40\times 200=8000 mm^2[/tex]

i.e. characteristic diameter[tex]=\frac{4A}{P}=\frac{4\times 8000}{2(200+40)}=66.66 mm[/tex]

[tex]k=0.035 W/m-K[/tex]

Temperature of Hot gases [tex]T_{\infty }=120^{\circ}C[/tex]

Length of Duct [tex]L=4 m[/tex]

Surface Temperature of duct [tex]T_s=20^{\circ}C[/tex]

Nusselt Number [tex]Nu=89[/tex]

[tex]Nu=89=\frac{hD}{k}[/tex]

[tex]89=\frac{h\times 66.66\times 10^{-3}}{0.035}[/tex]

[tex]h=46.77 W/m^2-K[/tex]

[tex]Q=hA\Delta T[/tex]

[tex]Q=46.77\times \pi d\cdot L\cdot \Delta T[/tex]

[tex]Q=46.77\times \pi \times 0.066\times 4\times (120-20) [/tex]

[tex]Q=3.879 kJ[/tex]
