Water at 10 ◦C flows in a pipe from a house to a guest house. On cold winter days the pipe loses an estimated 500W of heat transfer. To keep the water from freezing, and possibly breaking the pipe, it must continuously flow in the pipe. Determine the minimum required mass flow rate that will ensure that the water does not freeze (i.e., reach 0 ◦C)?

Help mee!! Q1. Heat conduction & convection (38 pt). Hot water flows in a steel pipe of 0.1 m inside diameter at a flow rate of 0.2 m/h and at an average temperature of 70 °C. The pipe length is 2.5 m and the inside pipe wall temperature is 60 °C Assume that the pipe thickness is small and the steel heat conductivity is high enough so that the thermal resistance of the pipe wall is negligible. Calculate: (a) The...
02. [HW] Textbook problem 6-160 (6 marks) A heat pump receives heat from a lake that has an average winter time temperature of 6°C and supplies heat into a house having an average temperature of 27° C. (a) If the house loses heat to the atmosphere at a rate of 64000 kJ/h, determine the minimum power supplied to the heat pump, in kW. (b) A heat exchanger is used to transfer the energy from the lake water to the heat...
Hot and cold water streams exchange heat in a double pipe heat exchanger in counter current flow. The pipes are 3 ft long. The inside pipe is a 5/8 inch BWG 12 copper tube. The outside pipe is a 1 inch Sch 40 steel pipe. The outside pipe is insulated to minimize heat loss to the surroundings. The hot water enters the inside tube at 180F with a flow rate such that Re = 10000 The cold water flows through...
1. Water (at 70 o C) flows with a velocity of 1 m/s in a 2 cm diameter pipe. The pipe wall temperature is at 100 o C. (a) What is the heat transfer from the pipe wall to the fluid? (b) Determine the critical velocity at which the flow would be characterized as laminar and for this flow velocity calculate the heat transfer (c) Assume the diameter of the pipe is doubled while all other conditions remain the same....
Water is to be heated from 10 °C to 83 °C as it flows through a 0.015 m-internal-diameter, 13-m-long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so that in steady operation all the heat generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. The system provides hot water at a rate of 5 L/min Assumelp...
Twenty [kw] of heat is to be removed from 375 [k] water flowing at 0.15 [kg/s] into the inner pipe of concentric tube heat exchanger. Cooling water enters the annulus at 290 [k] and leaves at 320 [k] with a flow in the opposite direction of the inner flow. The diameter of the thin- walled inner pipe is 2.5 [cm] a) b) c) Calculate the exit temperature of the hot fluid and the mass flow rate of the cold fluid...
Question 4: Water at 20C flows through a inch schedule 40 steel pipe at a mean velocity of 0.25m/s. If the flow is fully developed and the pipe considered isothermal, find a) The heat transfer coefficient b) The friction factor.
Dr. Clark designed a system capable of cooling the air of a house using water in river. The main component is stainless steel pipe (k=15.1 W/mK, Di=0.15m Do=0.152m) submerged in a river with a water temperature T_fluid=17 C. The warm air from the house enters this cooling pipe at a volume flow rate 0.025 m3/s, and T_m,i=27 C. The exit temperature is expected to be T_m,o=20 C. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the pipe external surface and water is...
Hot water flows thorough a parallel flow heat exchanger at a rate of 10 kg/min and is cooled by a cold water stream of flow rate 25 kg/min. The inlet temperatures of hot and cold water streams are 70 oC and 25 oC, respectively. The outlet temperature of the hot water is expected to be 50 oC. The individual convective heat transfer coefficient on both sides of the heat transfer area is 600 W/m2 .K. Take the specific heat for...
Problem 2 (10/30) - Steam at 180 C (saturated) enters a 10 cm diameter, 0.4 mm thick, 150 m long carbon steel pipe which is exposed to the elements. Air flows across the pipe at 10 m/sec.
