Heat Transfer
A metal ball of radius 0.1 m at a uniform temperature of 90°C is left in air at 30°C. The density and the specific heat of the metal are 3000 kg/m³ and 0.4 kJ/kg.K respectively. The heat transfer co-efficient is 50 W/m².K Neglecting the temperature gradients inside the ball, the time taken (in hours) for the ball to cool to 60°C is
Gases to be heated/cooled is normally routed through the shell side, because the corrosion caused by the cooling water or steam condensate remain localised to the tubes
Presence of a non-condensible gas decreases the condensing film co-efficient
Gases under high pressure are routed through the tube side, because high pressure gases are corrosive in nature
