- Water flowing in a long, aluminum lube is to be heated by air flowing perpendicular to the exterior of the tube. The ID of the tube is 1.85 cm, and its OD is 2.3 cm. The mass flow rate of the water through the tube is 0.65kg/s, and the temperature of the water in the lube averages 30C. The free-stream velocity and ambient temperature of the air are 10m/sand120C, respectively.

- Determine the length needed for a simple concentric-tube, parallel flow heat exchanger to transfer heat from hot water to cold water at a rate of 900 W. The heat exchanger consists of two Type K copper (k=386 W/m-degC) tubes. The smaller tube has an inside diameter of 49.8 mm and an outside diameter of 54.0 mm. Assume that both film coefficients are equal to 100 W/sq.m.-degC. The hot water enters at 90 degC and leaves at 50 degC, and the cold water enters at 10 degC and leaves at 40 degC.arrow_forwardHot water at 90°C flows on the inside of a 2.5-cm-ID steel tube with 0.8-mm wall thickness at a velocity of 4 m/s. This tube forms the inside of a double-pipe heat exchanger. The outer pipe has a 3.75-cm ID, and engine oil at 20°C flows in the annular space at a velocity of 7 m/s. Calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient for this arrangement. The tube length is 6.0 m.arrow_forwardPlease explain with steps.arrow_forward
