Question

Pharmaceutical products, such as liquid cough syrups, are often sterilized by heating prior to final packaging. In this case, a cough syrup is heated from 20 to 85 degree C by passing it through a 12.5 m long stainless steel tube with an inside diameter of 8.2 mm and outside diameter of 10.3 mm. The tube is wrapped with electrical tape to deliver a constant heat flux into the tube. The fluid enters the tube with a fully developed velocity profile and a uniform temperature at an average linear velocity of 0.188 m/s. fluid property: Density = 1070 kg/m^2. heat capacity = 3060 J/kg-K. viscosity = 0.0075 kg/s-m, thermal conductivity = 0982 W/m-K. Pr = 21.4

Explanation / Answer

Heat required = density * volume flow rate * heat capacity * temp diff.

                    = 1070 * pi * (0.0103^2-0.0082^2) * 0.188 * 3060 * 65 / 4   = 1220.836 W
