Flow Across Tube Banks
7-62C In tube banks, the flow characteristics are dominated by the maximum velocity V max that occurs
within the tube bank rather than the approach velocity V . Therefore, the Reynolds number is defined onthe basis of maximum velocity.
7-63C The level of turbulence, and thus the heat transfer coefficient, increases with row number because of the combined effects of upstream rows in turbulence caused and the wakes formed. But there is nosignificant change in turbulence level after the first few rows, and thus the heat transfer coefficient remainsconstant. There is no change in transverse direction.
7-64 Combustion air is preheated by hot water in a tube bank. The rate of heat transfer to air and the pressure drop of air are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 The surface temperature of the tubes is equal to thetemperature of hot water.
Properties The exit temperature of air, and thus the mean temperature, is not known. We evaluate the air
properties at the assumed mean temperature of 20°C (will be checked later) and 1 atm (Table A-15):
k = 0.02514 W/m-K ρ = 1.204 kg/m3
C p =1.007 kJ/kg-K Pr = 0.7309
µ = 1.825× 10-5 kg/m-s Pr s = Pr @ Ts = 0.7132
Also, the density of air at the inlet temperature of 15°C (for use in the mass flow rate calculation at the
inlet) is ρi = 1.225 kg/m3.
Analysis It is given that D = 0.021 m, S L = S T = 0.05 m, and V = 3.8 m/s.Then the maximum velocity and the Reynolds number based on the maximum velocity become
