A 10-cm-diameter, 30-cm-high cylindrical bottle contains cold water at 3°C. The bottle is placed in windy air at 27°C. The water temperature is measured to be 11°C after 45 min of cooling. Disregarding radiation effects and heat transfer from the top and bottom surfaces, estimate the average wind velocity.

Answer :

Debel

Answer:

Average wind velocity 1.91m/s

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the bottle = 10cm

height of bottle = 30cm

Temperature of cold water = [tex]3^{o}C[/tex]

Temperature of air = [tex]27^{o}C[/tex]

Temperature of water after 45min = [tex]11^{o}C[/tex]

 

Average temperature of water, [tex]T=\frac{3+11}{2}=7^{o}c [/tex]

Properties of water from properties of water table at  [tex]7^{o}C[/tex] are

[tex]p=999.8kg/m^{3}[/tex]

[tex]c_{p} =4200j/kg^{o}c[/tex]

Average film temperature of air, [tex]T=\frac{7+27}{2}=17^{o}c[/tex]

Properties of air from properties of air table at 1atm and [tex]17^{o}C[/tex] are

[tex]k=0.02491W/m^{o}c[/tex]

[tex]v=1.489*10^{-5}x=m^{2}/s[/tex]

[tex]p_{r}=0.7317[/tex]

mass of water in bottle [tex]m=pV=p\pi\frac{D^{2} }{4}L=999.8\pi*\frac{0.1^{2} }{4}*0.3=2.356kg[/tex]

Heat added to water  [tex]Q = mc_{p}(T_{1}-T_{2})=2.356*4200*(11-3)=79162J[/tex]

Heat transfer rate [tex]\dot Q=\frac{Q}{{\vartriangle}t}=\frac{79162}{45*60}=29.32W [/tex]

Surface area of cylinder [tex]A_{x}={\pi}DL={\pi}0.1*0.3=0.09425[/tex]

Heat transfer rate of conclusion [tex]\dot Q_{conv}=hA_{x}(T_{x}-T_{\infty})[/tex]

Equating the heat transfer rates

[tex]29.32W=h(0.09425)(27-7) [/tex]

[tex]h=15.55W/m^{2}.^{o}c[/tex]

Nusselt number [tex]N_{u}=\frac{hD}{k}=\frac{15.55*0.1}{0.02491}=62.42[/tex]

Reynoids number is calculated using the equation

[tex]N_{u}=0.3+\frac{0.62Re^{0.5}Pr^{\frac{1}{3}}}{[1+(0.4/Pr)^{\frac{2}{3} } ]^{\frac{1}{4}}}[1+(\frac{Re}{28200} )^{\frac{5}{8} }]^{\frac{4}{5} } [/tex]

[tex]62.42=0.3+\frac{0.62Re^{0.5}0.7317^{\frac{1}{3}}}{[1+(0.4/0.7317)^{\frac{2}{3} } ]^{\frac{1}{4}}}[1+(\frac{Re}{28200} )^{\frac{5}{8} }]^{\frac{4}{5} } [/tex]

[tex]Re=12856 [/tex]

velocity of air is calculated using the relation

[tex]Re=\frac{VD}{v}[/tex]

[tex]12856=\frac{V(0.1)}{1.489*10^{-5}}[/tex]

[tex]V=1.91m/s[/tex]

Average velocity is [tex]1.91m/s[/tex]
