Heat Transfer 1 HW#7

1- Air flows over an isothermal flat plate maintained at a constant temperature of 65◦C. The
velocity of the air is 600 m/s at static properties of 15◦C and 7 kPa. Calculate the average heat-
transfer coefficient for a plate 1 m long.

2- Water at an average bulk temperature of 80◦F flows inside a horizontal smooth tube with wall

temperature maintained at 180◦F. The tube length is 2 m, and diameter is 3 mm. The flow velocity
is 0.04 m/s. Calculate the heat-transfer rate.
3- Water flows through a 2.5-cm-ID pipe 1.5 m long at a rate of 1.0 kg/s. The pressure drop is 7
kPa through the 1.5-m length. The pipe wall temperature is maintained at a constant temperature
of 50◦C by a condensing vapor, and the inlet water temperature is 20◦C. Estimate the exit water
temperature.

4- Water at the rate of 1.3 kg/s is to be heated from 60◦F to 100◦F in a 2.5-cm-diameter tube.

The tube wall is maintained at a constant temperature of 40◦C. Calculate the length of tube
required for the heating process.

5- Engine oil enters a 1.25-cm-diameter tube 3 m long at a temperature of 38◦C. The tube wall

temperature is maintained at 65◦C, and the flow velocity is 30 cm/s. Estimate the total heat
transfer to the oil and the exit temperature of the oil.

6- An oil with Pr =1960, ρ=860 kg/m3, ν=1.6×10−4 m2/s, and k =0.14W/m◦C enters a 2.5-mm-

diameter tube 60 cm long. The oil entrance temperature is 20◦C, the mean flow velocity is 30

cm/s, and the tube wall temperature is 120◦C. Calculate the heat-transfer rate.

7- Air at 1400 kPa enters a duct 7.5 cm in diameter and 6 m long at a rate of 0.5 kg/s. The duct
wall is maintained at an average temperature of 500 K. The average air temperature in the duct is
550 K. Estimate the decrease in temperature of the air as it passes through the duct.

8- Liquid water is to be heated from 60◦F to 120◦ F in a smooth tube. The tube has an electric

heat supplied that provides a constant heat flux such that the tube wall temperature is always 30◦
F above the water bulk temperature. The Reynolds number used for calculating the heat-transfer
coefficient is 100,000. Calculate the length of tube required for heating, expressed in meters, if the
tube has a diameter of 0.5 cm.

9- Air at 90 kPa and 27◦C enters a 4.0-mm-diameter tube with a mass flow rate of 7×10−5 kg/s.

A constant heat flux is imposed at the tube surface so that the tube wall temperature is 70◦C
above the fluid bulk temperature. Calculate the exit air temperature for a tube length of 12 cm.

10- Engine oil at 40◦C enters a 1-cm-diameter tube at a flow rate such that the Reynolds number
at entrance is 50. Calculate the exit oil temperature for a tube length of 8 cm and a constant tube
wall temperature of 80◦C.
