Answer

$\dot{Q}=2096\ Btu/h=614\ W$

Work Step by Step

From the energy balance: $\dot{Q}_w+\dot{m}h_1=\dot{m}h_2$ $\dot{Q}_w=\dot{m}c_p(T_2-T_1)$ $\dot{m}=\rho \frac{\pi}{4}D^2\mathcal{V}_1$ Given $\rho=62.11\ lbm/ft³,\ D=0.25\ in,\ \mathcal{V}_1=40\ ft/min$ $\dot{m}=50.9\ Btu/h$ Since $T_2=105°F,\ T_1=70°F,\ c_p=1.00\ Btu/lbm.°F$ $\dot{Q}_w=1781\ Btu/h$ With $0.85\dot{Q}=\dot{Q}_w$: $\dot{Q}=2096\ Btu/h=614\ W$
