a. Given the physical data below, systematically work out
how you would use benzoic-acid dissolution-rate data to
predict the heat-transfer performance of the full-scale
tube bundles, also circumventing the need for expensive
full-scale furnace tests. Defend the validity of each of
your underlying assumptions and itemize the
experimental precautions you would have to take. In your
opinion, does the present mass-transfer analogy
approach have any decisive advantages or drawbacks?

In the benzoic-acid dissolution model (mass-transfer
analog) experiment considered in this exercise, what is
the value of (Grm)m given the fact that the density
difference between benzoic-acid-saturated water and
pure water is only 1.42 x 10-3 g/cm3 at 25°C. To force
(Grm)m =(Grh)p what value of dm would be needed, and
what water velocity, Um would now be needed to preserve
Rem= Rep? Would the Pr and/or Sc-dependence of be
Nu
known under these more complicated (combined forced
convection and natural convection) conditions?

8.2 Suppose, for structural-design reasons, you wanted to
estimate the drag force per unit length of the heat-
exchanger tube. Could this also be done based on the
Nu h Re,Pr - relation using the so-called "analogy"
between momentum and energy transfer?
