A metal-clad electrical heating element of cylindrical shape, as shown in the sketch below, is immersed in water at atmospheric pressure. The element is a 5-cm-OD, and heat generation produces a surface temperature of 300°C. Estimate the heat flux under steady state conditions and the rate of heat generation per unit length.
GIVEN
? Cylindrical, electrical heating element
? Heat generation produces a 300°C surface temperature
FIND
(a) Heat flux
(b) Rate of heat generation
ASSUMPTIONS
? The system operates at atmospheric pressure
? The heater surface is black
SKETCH
PROPERTIES AND CONSTANTS
Inspection of the boiling curve in Figure (9.1) indicates that at 300°C surface temperature, the heating system must operate in the film boiling regime. Hence, a vapor layer covers the surface of the heater and it is appropriate to evaluate the physical properties at the mean film temperature of (100 + 300)/2 = 200°C.
