Air at 30°C enters a rectangular duct 1-m-long and 4 mm by 16 mm in cross-section at a rate of 0.0004 kg/s. If a uniform heat flux of 500 W/m2 is imposed on both of the long sides of the duct, calculate (a) the air outlet temperature (b) the average duct surface temperature, and (c) the pressure drop.

• Air mass flow rate ( m ) = 0.0004 kg/s
• Uniform heat flux (q/A) = 500 W/m2 on the long sides
FIND
