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.

GIVEN
• Air flowing through a rectangular duct
• Inlet bulk air temperature (Tb,in) = 30°C
• Duct length (L) = 1 m
• Duct height (H) 4 mm = 0.004 m
• Duct width (w) = 16 mm = 0.016 m
• Air mass flow rate ( m ) = 0.0004 kg/s
• Uniform heat flux (q/A) = 500 W/m2 on the long sides
FIND
(a) Air outlet temperature (Tb,out)
(b) The average duct surface temperature (Ts)
(c) The pressure drop (? p)
ASSUMPTIONS
• The short sides of the duct are insulated
• Entrance effects are negligible
