Q1
Water is being boiled at 1 atm abs pressure in a jacketed kettle with steam
condensing in the jacket at 115.6 C. The inside diameter of the kettle is 0.656 m
and the height is 0.984 m. The bottom is assumed to be flat. Both the bottom and
the sides up to a height of 0.656 m are jacketed. The kettle surface for heat
transfer is 3.2-mm stainless steal with a k of 16.27 W/m. K. Predict the boiling
heat-transfer coefficient for the vertical jacketed sides of the kettle. Also predict
the total heat transfer if the boiling heat-transfer coefficient for the bottom surface
.of the kettle is 2955 W/m2.K
hsteam =10200W/m2K

Q2
steam saturated at 68.9 kPa (10 psia) is condensing on a vertical tube 1.22 m
(4.0 ft) long having an OD of 0.0254 m (1.0 in.) and a surface temperature of
86.11 C (187 F). Calculate the average heat-transfer-coefficient using
English and SI units.
