diameter is D1 =3 cm and whose walls are maintained at a
temperature of 120oC. Circular aluminum fins (k = 180
W/m.oC) of outer diameters D2 = 6 cm and
constant thickness t = 2mm are attached to the
tubes. The space between the fins is 3 mm. Heat is
transferred to the surrounding air at

Steam in a heating system flows through a tube whose height (H), outer diameter (D), and outer surface temperature (T) are 1m, 3m and 120°C respectively. Circular aluminium fins (k = 180 W/m.°C) of outer diameter D, = 6cm and constant thickness t=2mm are attached to the tube as shown in the figure. The space between the fins is 3 mm. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 25°C with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 60 W/m².°C....
(c) Steam flows a pipe of external diameter 30 mm, where the pipe outer surface temperature is 130oC. Circular annular fins (k = 180 W·m-1·K-1) of outer diameter 60 mm and thickness 1 mm are fitted tightly to the pipe. Heat is transferred by convection (h=10 W·m-2·K-1) to the surrounding air at 20oC. (i) Determine the efficiency of a single fin. (ii) Determine the heat transfer rate for a single fin. (8 marks) (6 marks) (iii) Determine the effectiveness of...

(b) If there are 125 such fins per meter of tube length, what is the rate of...
Problem 3. (25 points) In a Rankine power system, 1.5 kg/s of steam leaves the turbine as saturated vapor at 0.51 bar. The steam is condensed to saturated liquid by passing it over the tubes of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, while liquid water, having an inlet temperature of T = 280 K, is passed through the tubes. The condenser contains 100 thin-walled tubes, each of 10-mm diameter, and the total water flow rate through the tubes is 15 kg/s. The...
Thin-walled aluminum tubes of diameter D = 10 mm are used in the condenser of an air conditioner. Under normal operating conditions, a convection coefficient of hi = 5000 W/m2 · K is associated with condensation on the inner surface of the tubes, while a coefficient of ho = 100 W/m2 · K is maintained by airflow over the tubes. a. What is the overall heat transfer coefficient if the tubes are unfinned? b. What is the overall heat transfer...
