Heat Transfer Miscellaneous
Direction: Water (specifie heat, c = 4.18 kJ/kgK) enters a pipe at a rate 0.01 kg/s and a temperature of 20°C. The pipe, of diameter 50 mm and length 3 m, is subjected to a wall heat flux q"w in W/m2.
- If q"w = 5000 and the convection heat transfer coefficient at the pipe outlet is 1000 W/m2K, the temperature in °C at the inner surface of the pipe at the outlet is

q"w = 5000 w/m2
h = 1000 w/m2k
Heat transfer through pipe wall, Q = q"w × surface area
= 5000 × π × d × l
= 5000 × 3.14 × 0.05 × 3 = 2355 W
Q = mCP (T0 –Ti), amount of heat gained by the water
2355 = 0.01 × 4180 (T0 – 20)
T0 = 76.33°C
q"w = h( Tso - To)
5000 = 1000 (Tso – 76.33)
Tso = 81°CCorrect Option: D

At the inlet of pipe
x = O
q "wi = 2500 × 0 = 0
At the exit of pipe,
x = lq "wi = 2500 × 1 × 3 = 7500 W m2
Average heat transfer,q "avg q "wi + q "we = 0 + 7500 = 3750 w 2 2 m2
Net heat transfer
Q = q "avg × surface area = 3750 × πdl
= 3750 × 3.14 × 0.05 × 3 = 1766.25 W
Also Q = mCp (T0 – Ti)
1766.25 = 0.01× 4180 (T0 –20)
By solving above equation, we get
T0 = 62° CCorrect Option: B
