A steam pipe passes through a chemical plant, where wind passes in cross-flow over the outside of the pipe. The steam is saturated at 17.90 bar and you can assume that the resistances to heat transfer inside the pipe and of the pipe itself are minimal, so that the outside surface temperature of the pipe is equal to the saturation temperature of the steam. The pipe is stainless steel and has an outside diameter of 6.75 cm and a length of 34.7 m. The air flows over the pipe at 7.6 m/s and has a bulk fluid temperature of 27 °C. A. What is the rate of heat transfer from the pipe to the air?
B. would your answer change if the air flow direction changes to parallel flow? If so, calculate that q as well.

a) the rate of heat transfer from the pipe to the air is 23.866 watts

b) YES, the rate of heat transfer changes to 3518.61 watt

Explanation:

Given that:

steam is saturated at 17.90 bar.

the pipe is stainless steel and has an outside diameter of 6.75 cm

length = 34.7 m

Air flows over the pipe at 7.6 m/s

Bulk fluid temperature of 27°C

we know that

hD/k = 0.028 (Re)^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

Outside diameter of pipe = 6.75 cm

length of the pipe = 34.7 m

velocity of air = 7.6 m/s

Cp of air = 1.005 kJ/Kgk

viscosity of air = 1.81 × 10⁻⁵ kg/(m.sec)

thermal conductivity of air = 2.624 × 10⁻⁵ kw/m.k

so as

hD/k = 0.028 (Re)^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

hD/k = 0.028 (Dvp / u)^0.8 (Cpu / k)^0.33

(h × 0.0675 / 2.624 × 10⁻⁵) = (0.028 ([0.0675 × 7.6 × 1.225] / [1.81 ×10⁻⁵])^0.8) (((1.005 × 1.81 × 10⁻⁵) / (2.624 × 10⁻⁵))^0.33))

h = 0.0414 w/m².k

a)

Now to find the rate of heat transfer Q

Q = hAΔT

Q = 0.0414 × (2π × 0.03375 × 34.7) × (105.383 - 27)

Q = 23.866 watts

therefore the rate of heat transfer from the pipe to the air is 23.866 watts

b)

Now the flow direction changes to parallel flow, then

(h × 0.0675 / 2.624 × 10⁻⁵) = (0.028 ([34.7 × 7.6 × 1.225] / [1.81 ×10⁻⁵])^0.8) (((1.005 × 1.81 × 10⁻⁵) / (2.624 × 10⁻⁵))^0.33))

h = 6.1036 w/m².k

so from the steam table, saturated steam at 17.70 bar, temperature of steam will be 105.383°C

so to find the rate of heat transfer Q

Q = hAΔT

Q = 6.1036 × (2π × 0.03375 × 34.7) × (105.383 - 27)

Q = 3518.61 watt

Therefore the rate of heat transfer changes to 3518.61 watt

it was a fall down when it happens

answer: i have no clue tbh

explanation:

it happens to me to tho
