Flue gases from an incinerator are released to atmosphere using a stack that is 0.6 m in diameter and 10.0 m high. The outer surface of the stack is at 40°C and the surrounding air is at 10°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the stack, assuming

(a) there is no wind and

(b) the stack is exposed to 20 km/h winds.

    (a) Rate of heat transfer assuming there is no wind is 152.70J/s

    (b) Rate of heat transfer assuming the stack is exposed to 20km/h winds is 151.49J/s

    Explanation:

    Q/t = KA (T2 - T1) / d

    Range of heat transfer coefficient (K) for flue gases is 60-180W/mk

    Assuming K=180W/mk, diameter (d) = 0.6m, A=3.142*0.6^2/4 = 028278m^2, distance (d) = 10m, T2=40°C, T1=10°C

    (a) Q/t = 180*0.28278 * (40-10) / 10 = 180*0.28278*30/10 = 152.70J/s

    (b) V = 20km/h=20*1000/3600m/s = 5.6m/s, t=d/v=10/5.6=1.8s

    Q = KA (T2 - T1) / V = 180*0.28278 * (40 - 10) / 5.6 = 180*0.28278*30/5.6 = 272.68J

    Q/t = 272.68J/1.8s = 151.48J/s
