3. For an industrial application, a heating contractor must heat 0.2 kg/s of water from 15C
to 35C using hot gases in cross flow over a thin-walled (negligible thickness) plastic
tube. It is estimated that the velocity of the hot gas must be at least 30 m/s. The maximum
allowable surface temperature of the plastic pipe is 60C.

In order to keep the average surface temperature of the pipe below 60C, you are
required to propose the following design parameters:
The pipe i.e. diameters and length,
The hot gas conditions i.e. the velocity and temperature.

6. Water (w= 997 kg/m3, Cp,w = 4179 J/kgK, w = 85510-6 Ns/m2, kw = 0.613 W/mK,
and Prw = 5.83) enters a thin-walled (negligible thickness) tube of 10-mm diameter and
2-m length with mass flow rate m w = 0.2 kg/s and inlet mean temperature Tm,i = 47oC.
The tube is heated by passing air at T = 100oC and velocity V = 10 m/s in cross flow
over the tube. The properties of the cross flowing air are evaluated as air = 20.9210-6
m2/s, kair = 0.03 W/mK, Prair = 0.7. Determine the exit temperature of the water leaving
the tube and the total heat loss from the water as it passes through the tube.
Tm,o = 46.62C
7. Crude petroleum at a mean temperature of 20C is entering into a thin walled 200-m
long, 30-cm diameter pipe. The average velocity of the crude petroleum is 2 m/s. In a
harsh weather condition, the outside air temperature is measured to be -5C, which
maintained the outer surface temperature of the pipe at 0C. The thermo-physical
properties of crude petroleum are: = 888 kg/m3, k = 0.145 W/mK, = 90110-6 m2/s,
cp = 1880 J/kgK, and Pr = 10,400. Determine the temperature of the crude petroleum
when it leaves the pipe and heat loss to the ambient air.
Tm,o = 19.97C
q = 6665.59 W
