Chapter 1, Problem 1.52P

A hair dryer may be idealized as a circular duct through which a small fan draws ambient air and within which the air is heated as it flows over a coiled electric resistance wire.

Chapter 1, Problem 1.52P, A hair dryer may be idealized as a circular duct through which a small fan draws ambient air and

  1. If a dryer is designed to operate with an electric power consumption of P elec = 500 W and to heat air from an ambient temperature of T i = 20 ° C to a discharge temperature of T o = 45 ° C, at what volumetric flow rate . should the fan operate? Heat loss from the casing to the ambient air and the surroundings may be neglected. If the duct has a diameter of D = 70 mm, what is the discharge velocity V o of the air? The density and specific heat of the air may be approximated as ρ = 1.10 kg/m 3 and c p = 1007 J/kg K, respectively.
  2. Consider a dryer duct length of L = 150 mm and a surface emissivity of ε = 0.8. If the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection from the casing to the ambient air is h = 4 W/m 2 K and the temperature of the air and the surroundings is T = T sur = 20 ° C, confirm that the heat loss from the casing is, in fact, negligible. The casing may be assumed to have an average surface temperature of T s = 40 ° C .

6. In an heat exchanger of parallel flow type, water enters at 60°C and leaves at 80°C while oil of specific gravity 0.8 enters at 250°C and leaves at 100°C. The specific heat of oil is 2.5 kJ/kg K and surrounding temperature is 300 K. Determine the loss in availability on the basis of one kg of oil flow per second. [Ans. – 59.9 kJ]

2) A transfer pump delivers water from an on ground to an elevated tank thru a 120m-100mmØ transmission line. The required supply flow rate of the elevated tank is 120gpm. The on ground tank maintains a water level of 2.5m and the pump is located along ground level. The ground elevation of the on elevated tank is 1.2m higher than the level of the pump, the height of the leg of the tank is 13m and the inlet pipe is 2.2m from the top of the leg of the elevated tank. The fittings along the line is given on the table below, determine the WHP, BHP and MHP of the pump if the Pump efficiency is 60% and the Motor Efficiency is 58%.
