Question
Water is heated by submerging 50 mm-diameter, thin-walled copper tubes in a tank and
passing hot combustion gases (Ig = 750 K) through the tubes. To enhance heat transfer to the
water, four straight fins of uniform cross section, which form a cross, are inserted in each
tube. The fins are 5 mm thick and are also made of copper (k = 400 W/m.K). If the tube
surface temperature is T= 350 K and the mass flow rate of gas = 1.1 kg/s.
What is the overall efficiency of the fins? Treat gas as air.
