Question:

In a natural-gas fired boiler, combustion gases pass through 6-m-long 15-cm-diameter tubes immersed in water at 1 atm pressure. The tube temperature is measured to be 105°C, and the emissivity of the inner surfaces of the tubes is estimated to be 0.9. Combustion gases enter the tube at 1 atm and 1200 K at a mean velocity of 3 m/s. The mole fractions of CO2 and H2O in combustion gases are 8 percent and 16 percent, respectively. Assuming fully developed flow and using properties of air for combustion gases, determine

(a) The rates of heat transfer by convection and by radiation from the combustion gases to the tube wall

(b) The rate of evaporation of water.
