Solve problem in picture please Part 1: Forced Convection Heat Transfer Through a Tube Bank
A plan to use a steam powered preheater to raise the incoming fresh air to a deck air handler from a planed \(0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) to \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The air duct has a width 250 mm with the tube spacings of \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{T}}=24\mathrm{~mm}\). The tubes of a prebuilt assembly can be as many as 4 tubes in the transverse direction and 3 tubes in the longitudinal direction. The air velocity is measured at \(12\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) at the inlet of the tune assembly. The tube surface is held at \(125^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). How many of the units are needed in series to reach the goal of reheating to a temperature higher than \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)?
Problems
A) Determine the total rate of heat transfer to the air and the temperature of the air leaving the duct heater of one set of heating elements.
B) How many sets of heating elements would be needed to just meet the design goal? What would the temperature be after the unit(s), if not regulated to \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\).
C) What would the pressure drop be after the unit(s)?
