(c) Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is D_i =3 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 120°C. Circular aluminum fins (k = 180 W/m-deg) of outer diameter D_o = 6 cm and constant thickness t =2 mm are attached to the tube, as shown in Fig. 2. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 200 fins per meter length of the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at T_∞ = 25°C, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of h = 60 W/m²-deg. Determine the increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result of adding fins under steady operating conditions and neglecting heat transfer by radiation. Assume: 1. The heat transfer coefficient is uniform over the entire fin surfaces. 2. Thermal conductivity is constant. 07

Nu = 2+[0.4Re^1/2+0.06Re^2/3]Pr^0.4(μ/μ_s)^1/4

Following assumption to be considered during cooling of ball for simplicity.

1. Steady operating conditions exist.
2. Radiation effects are negligible.
3. Air is an ideal gas.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

4. The outer surface temperature of the ball is uniform at all times.
5. The surface temperature of the ball during cooling is changing. Therefore, the convection heat transfer coefficient between the ball and the air will also change. To avoid this complexity, take the surface temperature of the ball to be constant at the average temperature of (300 + 200)/2 = 250°C in the evaluation of the heat transfer coefficient.
