Chapter 7, Problem 7.9P
An electric air heater consists of a horizontal array of thin metal strips that are each 10 mm long in the direction of an airstream that is in parallel flow over the top of the strips. Each strip is 0.2 m wide, and 25 strips are arranged side by side, forming a continuous and smooth surface over which the air flows at 2 m/s. During operation, each strip is maintained at 500°C and the air is at 25°C.
- What is the rate of convection heat transfer from the first strip? The fifth strip? The tenth strip? All the strips?
- For air velocities of 2, 5, and 10 m/s, determine the convection heat rates for all the locations of part (a). Represent your results in tabular or bar graph form.
- Repeat part (b), but under conditions for which the flow is fully turbulent over the entire array of strips.

Problem#6*
A preheater involves the use of condensing steam at 100°C on the inside of a bank of tubes to heat air that
enters at 1 atmosphere and 15°C. The air moves at 8 m/s in cross flow over the tubes. Each tube is 2 m
long and has an outside diameter of 5 mm. The bank consists of 196 tubes in a square, aligned array in
which the distance between tube centers is 15 mm. What is the temperature of the air after passing through
the tubes. Also, what is the pressure drop associated with the air flow?
Compute the Nu numbers for air at 40°C flowing with 4 m/s speed over the following:
1) A Copper sphere of 5 cm in diameter with 80°C isothermal surface temperature
2) A circular Aluminum pipe of 6 cm in diameter with 80°C isothermal surface temperature
3) A bank of 20x20 5-mm diameter tubes arranged in-line with center-to-center distance of
20 mm. Each tube is assumed to have isothermal temperature of 80°C.
