A transformer that is 1.5 m long, 0.062 m wide, and 0.05 m high is to be cooled by attaching a 1.5-m x 0.062-m-wide polished aluminum heat sink to its top surface. The heat sink has seven fins, which are 0.024 m high, 2 mm thick, and 1.5 m long. A fan blows air at 25°C parallel to the passages between the fins. The heat sink is to dissipate 30 W of heat and the base temperature of the heat sink is not to exceed 60°C. Assuming the heat sink to be black anodized and thus to have an effective emissivity of 0.90, determine the minimum free-stream velocity the fan needs to supply to avoid overheating. Assume the flow is laminar over the entire finned surface of the transformer. Note that in radiation calculations the base area (1.5-m x 0.062-m) is to be used, not the total surface area. The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature of (T+ Too)/2 = (60 + 25)/2 = 42.5°C are k = 0.02681 W/m.°C, v = 1.726 × 10-5 m2/s,

Q5 c) Water is to be heated from 10°C to 80°C as it flows through a 2-cm-internal-diameter, 7-m- long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which provides 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 from the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot water at a rate of 8 L/min, determine the convection heat transfer coefficient and temperature at the inner surface of the pipe at the exit. d) Hot air at atmospheric pressure and 85°C enters a 10-m long uninsulated square duct of cross section 0.15m x 0.15m that passes through the attic of a house at a rate of 0.1 m/s. The duct is observed to be nearly isothermal at 60°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from the duct to the air space in the attic.
A jacketted-agitated vessel, fitted with a turbine agitator, is used for heating a water stream from 10°C to 54°C. The average heat transfer coefficient for water at the vessel’s inner-wall can be estimated from Nu = 0.76Re2/3Pr1/3. Saturated steam at 100°C condenses in the jacket, for which the average heat transfer coefficient in kW/m2·K is ho=5 13.1(Tg - Tw)20.25. The vessel dimensions are Dt = 0.6 m, H = 0.6 m and Da = 0.2 m. The agitator speed is 60 rpm. Calculate the mass rate of water that can be heated in this agitated vessel steadily.
To cool a storehouse in the summer without using a conventional air-conditioning system, the owner decided to hire an engineer to design an alternative system that would make use of the water in the nearby lake. The engineer decided to flow air through a thin smooth 10-cm-diameter copper tube that is submerged in the nearby lake. The water in the lake is typically maintained at a constant temperature of 15°C and a convection heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W/m2?K. If air (1 atm) enters the copper tube at a mean temperature of 30°C with an average velocity of 2.5 m/s, determine the necessary copper tube length so that the outlet mean temperature of the air is 20°C.

Water is to be heated as it flows through a carbon-silicon pipe of inner diameter 3 cm and wall thickness 5 mm. The outer surface of the pipe is wrapped in a thin electric resistance heater. The water enters the piping system at 20°C and this system is to supply water at 70°C at a rate of 10 L/min. a) The heater dissipates energy at a constant rate of 6 kW/m². The backside of the heater is well-insulated so that all this energy diffuses into the flowing water. Determine the required length of the pipe to meet the specified design criteria. Evaluate any necessary properties of water by treating the water as a saturated liquid at an appropriate average temperature. You can find properties of saturated water in Appendix A of the Bergman textbook. Also, you do not need to interpolate between temperatures on the table-simply use the table value that most closely matches your calculations. b) Determine the heater temperature at the end of the pipe assuming there is negligible contact…
