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 a rate of 2.2 kg/s.

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.

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- tures of 80°C and 40°C, respectively. Determine the rate of heat loss from the absorber plate by natural convection for 4 = 0°, 30°, and 90°. wa ot A vertical 1.5-m-high and 1.8-m-wide double-pane win- dow consists of two sheets of glass separated by a 2-cm air gap at atmospheric pressure. If the glass surface temperatures across the air gap are measured to be 18°C and 4°C, determine the rate of heat transfer through the window by (a) natural convection and (b) radiation. Also, determine the R-value of insulation of this window such that multiplying the inverse of the R-value by the surface area and the temperature difference gives the total rate of heat transfer through the window.
