A cylindrical furnace has height H and diameter D both 1 m. It is maintained at temperature 360 K. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure Pa and its temperature becomes T=360 K. The hot air with density ρ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter d=0.1 m and height h=9 m above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density ρa=1.2 kg m-3, pressure Pa and temperature Ta=300 K enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in ρ and T inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
[Given: The acceleration due to gravity g=10 m s-2 and π=3.14]

Considering the air flow to be streamline, the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is _____ gm s1.

  1. A 7500
  2. B 7850
  3. C 7950
  4. D 7128
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 7850

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Applying Bernoulli’s theorem between top and bottom points of furnace : \(P_a+\frac{1}{2} \rho_a V^2=P_a+\rho g H+\frac{1}{2} \rho V^2\quad\ldots(1)\) Also, since PM=ρRT
