Question
a. An air stream passing through a 2-inch (1/6 ft) diameter, thin-walled tube is to be heated by high-
pressure steam condensing on the outer surface of the tube at 320 °F. The overall heat transfer
coefficient, h between steam and air can be assumed to be 25 Btu/(ft2.hr °F) with the air entering
at 100 ft/sec, 10 psia, 40 °F. The air is to be heated to 150 °F. Determine the tube length required.
Assuming Rayleigh Line flow, calculate the static pressure change due to heat addition.
Also, for the same inlet conditions, calculate the pressure drop due to friction, assuming Fanno
flow in the duct with f = 0.018.
b.
c.
d.
To obtain an approximation to the overall pressure drop in this heat exchanger, add the two
results. Discuss the accuracy of this calculation.
