 combustion gases passing through a 3 cm internal
diameter.circular tube are used to vaporize waste water
at atmospheric pressure. hot gases enter the tube at
115 Kpa and 250 C at mean velocity of 5 m/s and leave
at 115 C if the average heat transfer coefficient is 120
W/m^2C and the inner surface temperature of the tube
is 10 C, dertermine (a) the tube length and (b) the rate
of evaporation of water.
Assumptions

1 Steady operating conditions exist.

2 The surface temperature of the pipe is
constant.
3 The thermal resistance of the pipe is negligible
Properties

The properties of air at the average temperature of

(250+150)/2=200C are
(Table A-15)
p =1023J/kg.C
R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Also, the heat of vaporization of water at 1 atm or 100C is

h fg = 2257 kJ/kg
(Table A-9).
 Analysis The density of air at the inlet and the mass
flow rate of exhaust gases are
