Question
A gas is heated in a duct as it flows over a resistance heater. Consider a 101 kW electric heating system. The gas enters the heating section of the duct at 100 kPa and 27°C with a volume flow rate of 15 m3/s. If heat is lost from the gas in the duct to the surroundings at a rate of 51 kW, the exit temperature of the gas is (Assume constant pressure, ideal gas, negligible change in kinetic and potential energies and constant specific heat; Cp = 1 kJ/kgK; R = 0.5 kJ/kgK)
Options :
32°C
37°C
76°C
53°C
