Water at 310 K and a flow rate of 4 kg/s enters an alumina tube (k=177Wm K1) with an inner diameter of 0.20 m and a wall thickness of 0.02 m. Air at a temperature of 390 K flows over the tube, heating it. The convection coefficients of for the water and air are 150 and 30 W m2 K-1, respectively.

Please find the attached graph of temperature as a function of tube length

Explanation:

The given information are;

The temperature of the air = 310 K

The mass flow rate = 4 kg/s

k = 177 WmK1

The inner diameter of the tube = 0.20 m

The tube wall thickness = 0.02 m

The convection coefficients of the water = 150 W·m²/k

The convection coefficients of the water = 30 W·m²/k

The area of the tube = π×0.2^2/4 = 0.03142 m²

The density = 1000 kg.m³

The mass flow rate = 4 kg/s

$U_m = \dfrac{\dot m}{\rho \cdot A_c} = \dfrac{4}{ 1000 \times 0.03142} = 0.127 \ m/s$

$Re_{D} = \dfrac{\rho \times u_m \times D}{\mu} = \dfrac{1000 \ kg/m^3 \times 0.127 \ m/s \times 0.2 \ m}{8.01 \times 10^{-4}\ N \cdot S/m^2} = 31,791.25$

The Reynolds number is > 2300 for pipe therefore, we have turbulent flow, and the entry length is estimated at 10 pipe diameters

The Nusselt number, Nu = h*D/k = 0.023*31791.25^(0.8)*4.32^(0.4) = 165.11

The total resistance = $R_{tot}=R_{conv, i} + R_{conv, i} + R_{tube}$

$R_{conv, i} + R_{conv, i}$ = (1/150*(1/(0.2)) + 1/30*(1/(0.22)))/π = 0.059 K/W

Resistance of tube, $R_{tube} = \dfrac{ln(r_2/r_1}{2\cdot \pi \cdot k} = \dfrac{ln(0.12/0.1)}{2\times\pi \times 177} = 1.64 \times 10^{-4} \ K/W$

$R_{tot}$ = 0.059 + 1.64 × 10⁻⁴ = 0.059 K/W

The heat transfer $\dot Q$ = $\dfrac{t_A - t_B}{R_{tot}}$

$\dot Q$ = (390 - 310)/0.059 = 1355.99 W ≈ 1356 W

Given that the water velocity = 0.127 m/s, we have;

Time to make one meter = 1/0.127 = 7.874 seconds

Mass of water that will have flowed in 7.874 seconds = 4×7.874 = 31.496 kg

The heat transferred in 7.874 seconds = 1356 × 7.874 = 10677.144 J

The specific heat capacity of water = 4,200 J/(kg·°C)

Therefore for one meter, we have;

10677.144 = 4,200 ×31.496 × ( t_B - 310)

( t_B - 310) = 10677.144 /(4,200 *31.496) =

t_B =0.0807 + 310 = 310.0807 K

At two meters, we have;

2*10677.144 = 2*4,200 *31.496 × ( t_B - 310)

( t_B - 310.0807 ) = 2*10677.144 /( 2*4,200 *31.496 )

t_B =0.0807 + 310.0807 = 310.1614

At three meters, we have

0.0807 + 310.0807 = 310.1614

The other values are;

m, T

1, 310.0807143

2, 310.1614286

3, 310.2421429

4, 310.3228571

5, 310.4035714

6, 310.4842857

7, 310.565

8, 310.6457143
