Topic: Conduction (J.P Holman, 9th edition: Chapter 9)

Problem 9.5 A vertical plate 30 cm wide and 1.2 m high is maintained at 700C and exposed to saturated steam at 1 atm. Calculate the heat transfer and the total mass of steam condensed per hour. Problem 9.10 Saturated steam at 100 lb/in2 abs condenses on the outside of a horizontal 1in-diameter tube. The tube wall temperature is maintained at 2800F. Calculate the heattransfer coefficient and the condensate flow per unit length of tube. Take T sat = 3280F and hfw = 889Btu/lb. Problem 9.12 A certain pressure cooker is designed to operate at 20 lb/in 2 gauge. It is well known that an item of food will cook faster in such a device because of the higher steam temperature at the higher pressure. Consider a certain item of food as a horizontal 4-indiameter cylinder at a temperature of 950 F when placed in the cooker. Calculate the percentage increase in heat transfer to this cylinder for the 20-lb/in2 gauge condition compared with condensation on the cylinder at standard atmospheric pressure. Problem 9.22 A condenser is to be designed to condense 10,000kg/h of refrigerant 12(CCl2F2) at 37.80C. A square 25 by 25 array of 12 mm diameter tubes is to be used, with water flow inside the tubes maintaining the wall temperature at 32.20C. Calculate the length of the tubes. (Additional data: hfg = 55.93 Btu/lbm at 100 0F). Problem 9.40 Estimate the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient for a water 26% glycerine mixture at 1 atm in contact with a copper surface and Tx = 150C. Problem 9.50 A horizontal tube having a 1.25 cm OD is submerged in water 1 atm and 1000C. Calculate the heat flux for surface temperature of (a) 540 0C, (b) 6500C, and (c) 8000C. Assume = 0.8 and use Bromleys correlation for the prediction of heat transfer coefficient as given below: [ ( ) ( )

Problem 9.51 Water at a rate of 1.0 liter/h in the form of 0.4 mm droplets at 25 0C is sprayed on a hot surface at 2800C with an impact velocity of 3 m/s. Estimate the maximum heat transfer which can be achieved with this arrangement. Problem 9.56 Calculate the condensation rate for saturated steam at 1 atm exposed to a horizontal 30 cm diameter cylinder maintained at 940C. Problem 9.63 A vertical plate 25 cm wide by 50 cm high at 850C is exposed to steam at 1 atm. Estimate the condensation rate in kg/hr. Also estimate the film thickness at the bottom of the plate.
