You are to compare heat transfer processes from a cylindrical pipe in three separate cases. One case has no fins, one has longitudinal fins, and one has circular radial fins. The three systems are shown on the right.
Tube OD: in
The fins have a measured thickness of in and extend in
Tube Wall Temperature:
Air Temperature:
Tube and Fin Conduction: BTUh ft
Air Convection:
Calculate the heat flow per tube length without fins units BTUh ft
We add longitudinal fins evenly spaced around the tube.
a Calculate and report the values of and per tube length units
b Calculate and report the value of for the abscissa of the efficiency chart.
c Report the value of Justify your answer using the chart with high precision.
d Determine the heat flow per tube length with the longitudinal fins. When any of the above answers are wrong, your answer here will not be graded because it is automatically wrong.
We use circular radial fins.
a How many integer number of fins are needed to have at least the same heat transfer area as determined for the longitudinal fins?
b What are the resulting values of and for this case?
c Calculate and report the value of for the abscissa of the efficiency chart. Also calculate and report the value of
d Report the value of Justify your answer using the chart with high precision.
e Determine the heat flow per unit length. When any of the above answers are wrong, your answer here will not be graded because it is automatically wrong.
