Describe, in terms of density changes, heat convection in fluids. When a fluid is heated at the base, it will expand, become less dense and rise. The cooler fluid at the top being denser, will sink. This continuous, cyclic movement of the fluid known as convection current will eventually heat up the entire whole fluid evenly
An oil preheater consists of a single tube of 10-mm diameter and 5-m length, with its surface maintained at 180°C by swirling combustion gases. The engine oil (new) enters at 70°C. What flow rate, in kg/h, must be supplied to maintain an oil outlet temperatur of 105°C? What is the corresponding heat transfer rate, in W? m = kg/h W
Calculate the natural convection heat transfer coefficient for a vertical stainless pipe, 100 mm outside diameter, 0.75 m long. The pipe surface temperature is 125 ° C, and the air temperature is 30 ° C. Convection coefficient = Answer W / m² ° C.

You have an object with a characteristic length of 1.8 cm. For the following conditions, determine the Rayleigh Number (evaluate the fluid properties at the film temperature): a) Water at a free-stream temperature of 50°C; object at a temperature of 14°C. b) Unused Engine Oil, at a temperature of 13°C; object at a temperature of 61°C. c) Air at atmospheric pressure, and a temperature of 11°C; object at a temperature of 43°C.
Question: a) We want to increase heat transfer by placing fans to provide forced convection to reduce the length of the pipe necessary (Note that the outside surface temperature of the pipe remains the same at 100oC). What is the rate of heat transfer from pipe to the air per meter length if the air speed over the pipe surface is 5m/s? What is the total length of the pipe necessary? Problem: Consider a rectangular warehouse with the dimensions of 40m long x 20m widex10m height. The overall heat transfer coefficient for all sidewalls is Uwall=0.3 W/m2K (Approx. R=20 hr.ft2.oF/Btu) and for the flat roof, it is Uroof= 0.20W/m2K. The floor can be assumed to be insulated and we can ignore the heat transfer through the doors, etc. We want to maintain the inside air temperature at 15oC while the outside temperature is 0oC by using a thin-walled, 5.0cm diameter copper pipe that carries steam. Steam enters the pipe as saturated vapor at 100oC. So, as it starts losing heat to the inside air, it…
A copper rod of 30 kg initially at the temperature of 300 °C needs to be immersed and fitted tightly into a ABA alloy ring with inner diameter 30.0015 mm found in tank of 100 liters water of 25 °C. (i) Determine the diameter copper when it is 300 °C. (ii) In your opinion, does the copper rod will still fit tightly into the ABA alloy ring inner diameter 30.0015 in the ambient air condition of 25 °C. Provide your answer in 4 decimal places. Assume the alloy ABA is very small with negligible effect in heat transfer. [Density for copper = 8890 kg/m3, Specific heat, Ccopper = 385 J/kg.°C;Coefficient of thermal expansion, αCopper = 18.0 × 10-6 (°C)-1]. [Density for ABA alloy = 8500 kg/m3, Specific heat, CABA = 138 J/kg.°C;Coefficient of thermal expansion, αABA = 13.3 × 10-6 (°C)-1]. [Density for water = 1000 kg/m3, Specific heat, Cwater = 4200 J/kg.°C].
