SECTION 12 Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer PROBLEM 12.1 1 the temperature rise per mete length along a pipe carrying wr at 12.2 vs is 66 deg K, what will be the coresponding pressure drop fora pipe temperatze of 420 K and an wit ‘temperature of 310 K? The density of sir at 310 K is 1-14 kg/m? For s pipe of diameter d, the mass flow = (uprd?)/4 1nd the rate of heat unser, ¢= (upd /4)Cy AT where AT isthe temperature rise, Also q = A(T ~ Ty) = herdl Ty — Ty) W ‘where Ty and Ty are the meun wall end Mid temperatures, Thus, (i/Cypu) = da jay —T 9) From equation 12.102 Rip =A aT/a(T, ~ Ty) ‘Sabsituting in equation 3.18: AP = Ad AT Ufa)? A(T — Ty (AT put) /Py ~ Tw (66 x 1.14 x 1228 x 1.0)/(420 = 310) 101.8 Nim?) PROBLEM 12.2 tis required to warm s quantity of air fom 289 K to 313 K by passing it through ' number of parallel metal tubes of inner diameter 50 mm maintained at 373 K. The Dressure drop must not exceed 250 Nim*. How long should the inlividal tubes be? ‘The density of air at 301 K is 1.19 kg/m and the coeficiens of heat transfer by convection from the tube to ait are 45, 62, and 77 Wins? K for velocities of 20, 24, anc 30 mis at 301 K respectively Solution From equations 12.102 and 3.18: AP = 4(h/Cy put pu? = Ahu/ Cy 250 A(ha/G, x 0050) b= 3.128Cp/tu Wa? K‘The heat transferred to the air = u(d?/4)pC,(T2—T;) u(r x 0050"/4)|.196, (313 ~289) = 0.05664 W ‘This is equal to: had (Ty Ty) = har x 0.0501(373 ~301) = 11.381 W 0.056C,u or h = 0.0050C,u/t From equation (i): (C,/l) = 0.32hu = (0.005 x 0.32hv4) and u = 25 mis Gi) 13tAL and substituting in equation ( For this velocity, interpolation of the given data gives a value of = 64 Wim?
