Question:
Water enters a tube at 27°C with a flow rate of 450 kg/h. The heat transfer from the tube wall to the fluid is given as q's (W/m) = ax, where the coefficient a is 20 W/m2 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.
(b) What is the outlet temperature of the water for a heated section 30 m long?
(c) Sketch the mean fluid temperature, Tm(x) and the tube wall temperature, Ts(x), as a function of distance along the tube for fully developed and developing flow conditions.
(d) What value of a uniform wall heat flux, q's (instead of q: = ax), would provide the same fluid outlet temperature as that determined in part (b)? For this type of heating, sketch the temperature distributions requested in part (c).
DistributionThe word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
