Question: Water enters a 5 0 m m diameter thin - walled tube at 2 7 C with a flow rate of 4 5 0 k

Water enters a 50mm diameter thin-walled tube at 27C with a flow rate of 450kgh. The heat
transfer from the tube wall to the fluid is given as qs'(Wm)=ax, where the coefficient a is 20
Wm2 and x(m) is the axial distance from the tube entrance.
(a) Beginning with a properly defined differential control volume in the tube, derive an
expression for the temperature distribution Tm(x) of the water. 0.5 points
(b) What is the outlet temperature of the water for a heated section 30m long? 0.5 points
(c) Plot the mean fluid temperature, Tm(x), and the tube wall temperature, Ts(x), as a function
of distance along the tube. Assume a convective coefficient h=1000Wm2K.1 point
(d) What value of a uniform wall heat flux, qs''(instead of qs'=ax), would provide the same
fluid outlet temperature as that determined in part (b)? For this type of heating, plot the
temperature distributions requested in part (c).1 points
(e) Let us now assume that the tube has a nonnegligible thickness of 1cm. The thermal
conductivity of the 316 stainless steel tube is 16.3WmK. The tube is now surrounded by a
fluid at T=80C with a ho=5000Wm2K. The internal convective coefficient can be assumed
as hi=1000Wm2K. Plot the temperature of water as a function of the tube axis (length). Hint:
consider the thermal resistance for cylindrical coordinates. 2 points Applying energy balance equation then,
dqconv=mCpdTm
For part (a)
dqconve=q'dx
ax.dx=mCpdTm
ax=mCpdTmdx
a0xxdx=mCpTmTdTm
Tm(x)=(Tm)1+ax22TmCp
For part (b)
The outlet temperature of the water for a heated section 30m long:
Tm(30)=27+20(30)22(4503,600)4,180=44.2249C The outlet temperature of the water for a heated section 30m long:
Tm(30)=27+20(30)22(4503,600)4,180=44.2249C
Explanation:
Here, we derived the expression for temperature distribution with the help of energy balance equation in a control volume system that is -
dqconve=q'dx
Step 2
For part (c)
qs'=ax
qs'=qconv=h(x)d[Ts(x)-Tm(x)]
So, fully developed flow is h= constant and temperature varies linearly.
For developing flow h(x) decrease with increasing in distance. For part (d)
For uniform wall heating,
q=qs''DL=mCp(Tm0-Tm1)
qs''=4503,6004,180(44.2249-27)D30
qs''=95.493DWm2
Explanation:
Here, we derived heat flux and and shows the mean fluid temperature for fully developed and developing flow conditions.
Answer
For part (a)-Tm(x)=(Tm)1+ax22TmCp
For part (b)-44.2249C
For part (c)- The diagram is shown above.
For part (d)-qs''=95.493DWm2
