The surface tension of water, a needed quantity in several of the following problems, is related to temperature according to the expression σ = 0.1232 [1 − 0.00146 T] , where σ is in N/m and T is in K. In the English system with σ given in lbf/ft and T in ?F, the surface tension may be calculated from σ = (8.44 × 10−3) [1 = 0.00082 T].

A square pan measuring 40 cm on a side and having a 2-cm-high lip on all sides has its surface maintained at 350 K. If this pan is situated in saturated steam at 372 K, how long will it be before condensate spills over the lip if the pan is

a. horizontal?


b. inclined at 10 degrees to the horizontal?


c. inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal?
