Two long concentric horizontal aluminum tubes of 0.2 m and 0.25 m diameter are maintained at 300 K and 400 K respectively. The space between the tubes is filled with nitrogen. If the surfaces of the tubes are polished to prevent radiation, estimate the rate of heat transfer for gas pressure of (a) 1 MPa and (b) 10 kPa in the annulus.

? Two concentric horizontal aluminum tubes with nitrogen between them
? Diameters ? Di = 0.2 m
? Do = 0.25 m
? Temperatures ? Ti = 300 K
? To = 400 K
? Surface of tubes is polished
FIND
The rate of heat transfer for
(a) Pressure (pa) = 1 MPa
(b) Pressure (pb) = 10 kPa
ASSUMPTIONS
? Steady state conditions
? Radiative heat transfer is negligible
? Only the density of the nitrogen is affected by the pressure
PROPERTIES AND CONSTANTS
From Appendix 2, Table 33, for Nitrogen at one atmosphere and the mean temperature of 350 K
