Limiting case for Re=0 Infinitely long cylinder is so powerful heat source that it can heat the whole space to its surface temperature!! Cylinder is really something extraordinary. There doesn’t exist for example something similar to a linear relationship between velocity and the drag force on sphere (F=6Ru).

Experiment 1.3.2011 =585 s T0=19.2, T=81 C HEAT PROCESSES tutorial HP6 Example: velocity of air calculated from the enthalpy balance is 5 m/s (Tnozzle=140 0C, mass flowrate of air 0.01 kg/s) Corresponding Reynolds number (kinematic viscosity 2.10-5) is Re=17500 Nusselt number calculated for Pr=0.7 is therefore This is result from the heat transfer correlation More than 2times less is predicted from the time constant Probable explanation of this discrepancy: Velocity of air (5m/s) was calculated at the nozzle of hair dryer. Velocity at the cylinder will be much smaller. As soon as this velocity will be reduced 5-times (1 m/s at cylinder) the heat transfer coefficient will be the same as that predicted from the time constant (76 W/m/K)

HEAT TRANSFER Film flow HP6 Wyeth
HEAT TRANSFER Film flow HP6 Free film of liquid falls down on a vertical heat transfer surface driven by gravity (water coolers, vertical shell&tube heat exchangers, falling film evaporators). Mass flow rate (kg/s/m) is determined by a liquid distributor at the top of wall (usually a vertical tube). (=u) determines the flowing film thickness as follows from the force balances y Parabolic velocity profile gravity Viscous force at wall Correlation for laminar film Re=/ < 400 Turbulent film
HEAT TRANSFER Film flow HP6 Falling film evaporators – liquid film flows down on inner surface of vertical tubes, heated from outside. Heat transfer coefficient is usually calculated as =/. Nii S.et al: Membrane evaporators. Journal of membrane science, 201 (2002), 149-159 Mass flowrate has to be high enough so that a uniform and stable liquid film covering the whole heat transfer surface of tubes will be formed. Stability and waviness of the film is affected by surface tension . Restriction on minimal flowrate (intensity of scrapping) can be expressed in terms of Weber number (ratio of kinetic and surface energy) Flow Distribution into tubes of evaporator calandria Consequence: the heat transfer coefficient cannot be greater than Very restrictive!!
