Thermal energy storage systems commonly involve a packed bed of solid spheres, through which a hot gas flows if the system is being charged, or a cold gas if it is being discharged. in a charging process, heat transfer from the hot gas increases thermal energy stored within the colder spheres; during discharge, the stored energy decreases as heat is transferred from the warmer spheres to the cooler gas. consider a packed bed of 75-mm-diameter aluminum spheres (p = 2,700 kg/m^3; c = 950 j/kgk; k = 240 w/mk) and a charging process for which gas enters the storage unit at a temperature of 300 degrees c. the initial temperature of the spheres is ti = 25 degrees c and the convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 75 w/m^2*k. how long does it take a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible thermal energy? what is the corresponding temperature at the center of the sphere?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
