Activity 1. QUESTIONS.
Use the information given in this module and from our reference book to answer the following
problems:
1. Determine the rate of heat loss from a 100 mm diameter steam pipe placed
horizontally in ambient air at 30oC. The length of the pipe is 4 m and wall
temperature, Tw = 170oC.

2. A horizontal cylinder, 3.0 cm in diameter and 0.8 m length, is suspended in water at
20oC. Calculate the rate of heat transfer if the cylinder surface is at 55oC. Given
Nu = 0.53 (NGr x NPr)1/4 The properties of water at average temperature are as
follows:

3. Steam at atmospheric pressure condenses on a 0.25 m2 vertical plate. The plate
temperature is 96oC. Find the heat transfer coefficient and the mass of steam
condensed per hour. The length of the plate is 50 cm. At 97oC, c = 960 kg/m3; k =
0.68 W/m.K; c = 2.82 x 10-4 kg/m.s; hfg = 2255 kJ/kg

4. Air is blown at a rate of 2.4m3/s (measured at 0oC and 1 atm) at right angles to a tube
bank of 10 pipes and 10 spaces wide and 10 rows deep. The length of each pipe is 3m.
The tubes are on triangular centers, and the center to center distance is 75mm. It is
desired to heat the air from 20 to 40oC at atmospheric pressure. What steam pressure
must be used? The pipes are 25mm OD steel pipe.

5. Forty-five pounds per minute of water is heated from 60 to 180oF in a 5/8 inch
16BWG heat exchanger tube. If the steam condensing at 260oF on the outside of the
tube gives an ho=1000Btu/hr ft2 oF, calculate the inside coefficient, the overall
coefficient and the tube length required.
