Forced Convection: (An Autonomous Institute Under VTU) Manandavadi Road, Mysore-570008, Karnataka, India

1. The document is a tutorial sheet from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Engineering covering the topics of forced convection, hydrodynamically and thermally developed flow through tubes, and flow across a cylinder. 2. It contains multiple practice problems related to these topics, asking students to calculate things like heat transfer rates, velocity and temperature profiles, pressure drops, and more based on given pipe/plate dimensions and fluid properties. 3. The problems provide real-world scenarios to help students learn how to apply concepts of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics.

Forced Convection

1) Atmospheric air at 250C flows over both the surfaces of a flat plate 1m long with a velocity of
5m/s. The plate is maintained at a uniform temperature of 750C. i) Determine the velocity
boundary layer thickness, the surface shear stress and the heat flux at the trailing edge of the
plate. ii) Determine the drag force on the plate and the total heat transfer from the plate to air.

2) Air at 300C flows with a velocity of 10m/s along a flat plate 4m long. The plate is maintained
at a uniform temperature of 1300C. Assuming a critical Reynolds number of 2X105 and width of
the plate to be 1m determine i)the heat flux at the trailing edge of the plate. ii)the heat transfer
from the laminar portion of the plate. iii)the total heat transfer from the plate and iv)the heat
transfer from the turbulent portion of the plate.

3) A highly conducting thin wall 2m long separates the hot and cold air streams flowing on both
sides parallel to the plate surface. The hot stream at 2500C is flowing with a velocity of 50m/s
while the cold stream at 500C is flowing with a velocity of 15m/s. Calculate i)the average heat
transfer coefficients for both the air streams and the heat transfer between the two streams per
metre width of the plate and ii) the local heat flux at the midpoint of the plate. Assume that the
wall is at the arithmetic mean of the temperature of the two streams for the purpose of
calculating the physical properties of the two streams and the critical Reynolds number is 2X105.

Hydrodynamically and Thermally Developed Flow through Tubes.

1)Determine the friction factor, the pressure drop and pumping power for fully developed
laminar flow of water at 200C through a 25mm diameter, 100m long tube for a mass flow rate of
0.015kg/s. What are the mean and maximum velocities of flow.

2) Determine the friction factor, the pressure drop and pumping power required for the flow of
water at 0.5 kg/s and 400C through a tube of square c/s of 20mm×20mm and 12m long. What
would be the corresponding values if the pipe is of equilateral –triangle c/s of side 2cm and
length 5m?

3) Water at 300C with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s enters a circular tube of 2.5cm inner diameter
whose wall is maintained at a uniform temperature of 900C. Calculate the length of the tube
required to heat the water to 700C.

4) Water at 200C with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s enters a circular tube of 5 cm inner diameter and
10 m long. If the tube surface is maintained at 800C, determine the exit temperature of the water.
5) Air at 270C with a flow rate of 0.01 kg/s enters a rectangular tube 0.6 cm ×1.0 cm in c/s and
2m long. The duct wall is subjected to a uniform heat flux of 5 kW/m2. Determine the outlet
temperature of air and the duct 5 surface temperature at the exit assuming that the flow is
hydrodynamically and thermal developed.

6) 3kg/min of liquid sodium is heated from a bulk mean temperature of 4000C to 5000C as it
flows through stainless steel tube of 50mm inner diameter and 2mm thick. The sodium is heated
by a constant wall-heat flux, which maintains the tube-wall temperature at 300C above the bulk
mean temperature of sodium all along the length of the tube. Calculate the length of the tube
required. Assume the following properties for liquid sodium ρ=846.7kg/m3, K=68.34,
Cp=1.274kJ/kg-0K, Pr=0.00468, υ=0.2937×10-6m2/s

7) Mercury at a temperature of 1000C and with a velocity of 1m/s enters a 12.5mm inner
diameter tube and leaves at 2000C. The tube wall which is maintained at a uniform temperature
of 2500C. Determine the length of the tube required.

Flow Across a Cylinder

1) A circular pipe of 25mm outer diameter is placed in an air stream at 250C and 1 bar pressure.
The air moves in cross flow over the pipe at 15m/s, while the outer surface of the pipe is
maintained at 1150C. What is the drag force exerted on the pipe per unit length of the pipe? What
is the rate of heat transfer per unit length of the pipe?

2) A long cylindrical heating element (K=240W/kg-0K, ρ=2700 kg/m3, Cp=900kJ/kg-0K) of


diameter 10mm is installed in a duct in which air moves in cross flow over the heating element at
a temperature of 270C with a velocity of 10m/s. a) Estimate the steady state surface temperature
of the heater when electrical energy is being generated at a rate of 1000 W per meter length of
the cylinder
