Superheated steam flows steadily through steel tubing (k 35 W/m-K) applying a tube inner surface temperature of 575°C. The tubing has an inner diameter of 300 mm and a wall thickness of 30 mm. Insulation (k 0.10 W/m-K) is applied to the outer surface of the tube while thin aluminum sheet is applied around the insulation as a protective covering. The ambient air at 27°C provides a convection coefficient of 6 W/m2-K. Determine the minimum insulation thickness necessary (mm) to...
Thermal energy storage systems commonly involve a packed bed of solid spheres through which a hot gas flows when the system is being charged. In the charging process heat is transferred from the hot gas to the spheres and it increases the thermal energy stored in the spheres. Here are some variables that are important - the convection coefficient between the particle surface and the gas is h (W/m2 K) and the particle thermophysical properties are k (W/m K), Cp...
7. (20 pts) A sphere with 30 mm in diameter initially at 800 K is quenched in a large bath having a constant temperature of 320 K with a convection heat transfer of 75 W/m2.K. The thermophysical properties of the sphere material are: p=400 kg/mº, c=1600 J/kg-K, and k=1.7 W/mK. (Use characteristic length Lc=VIA to determine applicability of lumped method; Use radius of the sphere for one term approximation) a) Calculate the time required for the surface of the sphere...
NE Steel tubes (k =35 W/m2.K) of 400-mm inner diameter and 30-mm wall thickness are used to route superheated steam from the boller to the turbine in a power plant. Safety and economic concerns make it practical to add a 200-mm layer of Insulation (k =0.1 W/mK) to each tube, which is wrapped in a thin sheet of aluminum with an emissivity e =0.15. The air (with a convective coefficient h =5 W/m2K) and wail temperatures of the plant are...

The heat transfer coefficient for hydrogen flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature–time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 20.0 mm in diameter, is at 70°C before it is inserted into the gas stream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 50°C 97 s after the sphere is inserted into the hydrogen. Find a) What is the value of the specific...
