    The reservoir system shown below has the following properties:

    Q = 0.012 m3/s D = 0.1 m

    ! = 950 kg/m3

    Patm = 101325 Pa

    " = 0.0019 Pas g = 9.8 m/s

    The liquid is incompressible and has a negligible vapor pressure. The globe valve is half open;

    the 90o

    elbow is square. The tanks are very large and the pipe is smooth. Note that the figure isNOT drawn to scale.

    Question 4 (45 points)

    An atomizer nozzle generates a fine spray of liquid and is commonly used to dispense paints andperfumes. To evaluate the performance of an atomizer nozzle, it is proposed to atomize a

    nonvolatile liquid wax into a stream of cool air. The atomized wax particles are expected to

    solidify in the air, from which they may later be collected and examined. The wax droplets leave

    the atomizer at their freezing point To with the surrounding air at T# and

    #. Assume that thereis no volume change in the solidification process and that the heat transfer coefficient h between

    the drop and the air is known. In the solid phase, $ is the density, kis the thermal conductivity,and Cp is the heat capacity; these properties are constant. For this problem, determine an

    analytical solution rather than using Biot number simplifications.

    Freezing spherical drop:

    (a) Solve the pseudo-steady state energy equation in the solid phase betweenRf andR todetermine Tas a function of position. This is effectively assumingRf moves very slowly in

    time.

    (b) Write an unsteady-state energy balance equating the heat liberation at r=Rf(t) resulting

    from the freezing of the liquid to the heat flow q out the spherical surface at r =R. Estimate the

    time tf required for a spherical drop of radiusR to completely freeze. Let -Hfbe the latent heatof fusion per unit mass.

    A system with two concentric porous spherical shells of radii aR andR is shown in the figure

    below. The inner surface of the outer shell is at a temperature To and equivalent pressure o; theouter surface of the inner shell is at a lower temperature Ta. Dry air at Ta is blown outward

    radially from the inner shell into the intervening space and then through the outer shell at a mass

    flow rate ofw. Assume steady, laminar flow with negligible viscous dissipation. The fluid isNewtonian and incompressible.

    Transpiration cooling:

    The inner sphere is being cooled by means of a refrigeration coil to maintain its temperature atTa. When air is blown outward, as shown, less refrigeration is required. Note that the tube thatsupplies the air does not disrupt the symmetry to an appreciable extent.

    shells; simplify the governing equations. Determine the velocity field along with the pressure

    distribution. Solve for the temperature field to derive the following:

    Question 6 (60 points)

    In a heat exchanger at steady state, waste water from a chemical process flows inside a pipewhile cooling water boils outside the pipe. The waste water enters the heat exchanger with a

    mean inlet temperature Tm,i of 630 K and is cooled to mean outlet temperature Tm,o of 580 K.

    The cooling water boils at a saturation temperature Tsatof 373 K. The pipe has an outside

    diameter of 450 mm with a thickness of 20 mm and a thermal conductivity of 111 W/mK. Thewaste water has fouled the pipe over time, creating a layer of salt 12 mm thick with a thermal

    conductivity of 143 W/mK, giving the inside surface of the pipe a roughness of 0.46 mm.

    The waste water has the following properties:

    V) = 47.5 mm/s Cp = 60270 J/kgK! = 1200 kg/m

    3kw = 0.051 W/mK

    " = 1.1 x 10-6

    Ns/m2

    g = 9.8 m/s2

    Assume axial convection dominates over axial conduction. Be careful when writing the

    relationship between diameter and thickness (versus radius and thickness).

    Heat exchanger:

    (a) Using the given variables above along with the overall heat transfer coefficient (based upon

    the inner area of the fouled pipe) Ui and the inner diameter of the fouled pipeDi, perform anenergy balance over a length, -x, of the pipe. Then, let -x ( 0 and integrate across the lengthL

    of the heat exchanger.

    (b) Solve for the power input required to pump the waste water through the heat exchanger.

    This is the design equation for simple single-tube evaporator heat exchanger. (This can be

    confirmed by rearranging the generalized heat exchanger equation.)

    (b) Evaluate the overall heat transfer coefficient. The system can be thought of as a thermal

    circuit with three resistances in series:

    Evaluate the Prandtl number and then use the Prandtl analogy, since the flow is turbulent withoutform drag when Pr > 1, to calculate the heat transfer coefficient from the friction factor:
