Question: 1 1 . 2 4 An agitated tank, shown schematically in Fig. P 1 1 . 2 4 , contains 6 2 0 0 k

11.24 An agitated tank, shown schematically in
Fig. P11.24, contains 6200kg of a dilute agueous
solution. The inside heat transfer coefficient due
to agitation is 5861Wm2*C. The stl walls
Condensate out
Figure P11.24
of the tank are 10mm thick. Steam at 110C
condenses on the outside of the steel surface and
gives a heat transfer coefficient of 10kWm2*C.
The heat transfer area is 14m2. How long does
it take to heat the vessel contents from 20C
to 60C?
In this problem, assume the thermal conductivity of the wall is k =16
W/(m*K). The aqueous solution has density =1000 kg/m3 and heat capacity
Cp =4.2*103 J/(kg *K)
(a) Draw the thermal circuit from the wall to the inside of the tank. Write
an expression for the heat flux going into the tank if the tank is at a
given temperature T.
(b) Perform a macroscopic energy balance over the tank to determine the
differential equation for its temperature T. Solve the differential
equation to find out how long it takes the temperature to increase from
20C to 60C.
