Repeat Prob. 19104 for a circular horizontal duct of 15-cm diameter. The components of an electronic system

Question:

Repeat Prob. 19–104 for a circular horizontal duct of 15-cm diameter.

The components of an electronic system dissipating 180 W are located in a 1-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 16 cm × 16 cm. The components in the duct are cooled by forced air, which enters at 27°C at a rate of 0.65 m3/min. Assuming 85 percent of the heat generated inside is transferred to air flowing through the duct and the remaining 15 percent is lost through the outer surfaces of the duct, determine

(a) The exit temperature of air

(b) The highest component surface temperature in the duct. As a first approximation assume flow is fully developed in the channel. Evaluate properties of air at a bulk mean temperature of 35°C. Is this a good assumption?
