Answer

$\mathcal{V}_1=825\ ft/min$ $T_2=64.0°F$

Work Step by Step

For the velocity: $\dot{V}_1=A_1\mathcal{V}_1$ Given $A_1=\frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2,\ D_1=10\ in,\ \dot{V}_1=450\ ft³/min$ $\mathcal{V}_1=825\ ft/min$ The mass flowrate is given by: $\dot{m}=\frac{P_1\dot{V}_1}{RT_1}$ and since $P_1=15\ psia,\ R=0.3704\ psia.ft³/lbm.°R,\ T_1=50°F=510°R$: $\dot{m}=0.595\ lbm/s$ From the energy balance: $\dot{Q}+\dot{m}h_1=\dot{m}h_2$ $\dot{Q}=\dot{m}c_p(T_2-T_1)$ In the case of $\dot{Q}=2\ Btu/s,\ c_p=0.240\ Btu/lbm.°F$ $T_2=64.0°F$
