Solution For 1.4 and 1

The document provides information to calculate the flame temperature required to boil water off a kettle at a given rate. It gives heat transfer coefficients for boiling water and a gas flame, as well as the enthalpy of vaporization of water. The calculations use this information along with the thickness and diameter of the aluminum kettle wall to determine the required flame temperature is 1614°C. A second example calculates the required heat exchanger area to transfer heat from saturated steam to oil, and then from the cooled oil to saturated water. It is determined that an area of 97.5 square feet is needed.

The bottle of an aluminum kettle is 20 cm diameter and 1.2 mm thick. If water in
the kettle is boiling off at 0.833 g/s. Find the flame temperature for the following
values of heat transfer coefficients:
hi (boiling) = 4000 W/m2K and ho (gas flame) = 40 W/m2K
Enthalpy of vaporization of water is 2260 kJ/kg. The thermal conductivity of
aluminum is 204 W/m K
Given:
 o
T3 = 100 C x = 1.2 mm = 1.2 x 10-3 m
h
Water i T2 r = 20/2 = 10 cm = 10 x 10-2 m
x = 0.833 g/s = 0.833 x 10-3 kg/s
T1 Hv = 2260 kJ/kg
Flame k = 204 W/m K
ho To ho = 40 W/m2K
hi = 4000 W/m2K
