8-72 A 10-m-long and [0-mm-inner-diameter pipe made of
commercial steel is used to heat a liquid in an industrial pre
cess. The liquid enters the pipe with 7; = 25°C, V = 0.8 m/s
A uniform heat flux is maintained by an electric resistance
heater wrapped around the outer surface of the pipe, so that the
fluid exits at 75°C. Assuming fully developed flow and tak-
ing the average fluid properties to be p = 1000 kg/m, c, =
4000 J/kg-K, w = 2 X 1073 kg/m+s, k = 0.48 W/m‘K, and
Pr = 10, determine:
(a) The required surface heat flux q,, produced by the heater
(b) The surface temperature at the exit, 7,
(c) The pressure loss through the pipe and the minimum
power required to overcome the resistance to flow.
8-73 Water is to be heated from 10°C to 80°C as it flows
through a 2-cm-internal-diameter, 13-m-long tube. The tube
is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which pro-
vides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube.
The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so that in
steady operation all the heat generated in the heater is trans-
ferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot
water at a rate of 5 L/min, determine the power rating of the
resistance heater. Also, estimate the inner surface tempera-
ture of the pipe at the exit.8-75° The hot water needs of a household are to be met by
heating water at 15°C to 85°C by a parabolic solar collector at

FIGURE P8-758-78 In a food processing plant, hot liquid water is being
transported in a pipe (k = 15 W/m-K, D; = 2.5 cm,
D, = 3 cm, and L = 10 m). The hot water flowing with a mass
flow rate of 0.15 kg/s enters the pipe at 100°C and exits at
60°C. The plant supervisor thinks that since the hot water exits
the pipe at 60°C, the pipe’s outer surface temperature should
be safe from thermal burn hazards. In order to prevent thermal
burn upon accidental contact with skin tissue for individuals
working in the vicinity of the pipe, the pipe’s outer surface
temperature should be kept below 45°C. Determine whether or
not there is a risk of thermal burn on the pipe’s outer surface.
Assume the pipe outer surface temperature remains constant.A metal pipe Kite 15 Wim.

the sun in order to intercept a greater amount of direct solar
radiation. The tilt angle from the horizontal also affects the
rate of heat loss from the collector. Consider a 1,5-m-high and
3-m-wide solar collector that is tilted at an angle @ from
the horizontal. The back side of the absorber is heavily
insulated. The absorber plate and the glass cover, which are
spaced 2.5 cm from each other, are maintained at tempera-
