Determine how long it will take for the thermocouple to read 99% of the initial temperature difference.

A test is carried out to determine the overall heat transfer coefficient in a new automotive radiator that is a compact cross-flow water-to-air heat exchanger with both fluids (air and water) unmixed. The radiator has 40 tubes of internal diameter 5 mm and length 650 mm, in a closely spaced plate-finned matrix. Hot water enters the tubes at 90°C and a rate of 0·6 kg/s and leaves at 65°C. Air flows across the radiator through the interfin spaces and is heated from 20°C to 40°C. (a)Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient, Ui, of this radiator based on the inner surface area of the tubes.20(b)Explain why the required value of Uiis based on water side, rather than the air side.2(c)Discuss the changes that might occur in this value overthe life-time of the radiator, and the causes of them.3[Total: 25 marks]B2.A boiler with superheater generates 6,000 kg/h of steam at 1·5 MN/m², 0·8 dry at exit from the boiler and at a temperature of 300°C on leaving the superheater. Thefeedwater temperature is 80°C and the overall efficiency of the combined boiler and superheater is 85%.Determine the following, stating any assumptions made:(a)The amount of fuel, of calorific value 30 MJ/kg, used per hour.9(b)The equivalentevaporation from and at 100°C for the combined unit.2(c)The heating surface required in the superheater if the rate of heat transfer may be taken as 450,000 kJ/m² of heating surface per hour.10Describe briefly that advantages you would expect to be gained from the following in a steam generation plant: (d)A superheater.2(e)An economiser.
