What is its exit temperature and the rate of heat gain


A thin-walled, uninsulated 0.3-m-diameter duct is used to route chilled air at 0.05 kg/s through the attic of a large commercial building. The attic air is at 37°C, and natural circulation provides a convection coefficient of 2 W/m2 · K at the outer surface of the duct. If chilled air enters a 15-m-long duct at 7°C, what is its exit temperature and the rate of heat gain? Properties of the chilled air may be evaluated at an assumed average temperature of 300 K.
