Coefficient, expansion heat-transfer

The following symbols are used in the definitions of the dimensionless quantities mass (m), time (t), volume (V area (A density (p), speed (u), length (/), viscosity (rj), pressure (p), acceleration of free fall (p), cubic expansion coefficient (a), temperature (T surface tension (y), speed of sound (c), mean free path (X), frequency (/), thermal diffusivity (a), coefficient of heat transfer (/i), thermal conductivity (/c), specific heat capacity at constant pressure (cp), diffusion coefficient (D), mole fraction (x), mass transfer coefficient (fcd), permeability (p), electric conductivity (k and magnetic flux density ( B) ... 

However, the minimum fluidization velocity represents a convenient way to characterize the interactions between a given solid powder and a given gas. As such, it is extensively used in semi-empirical models based on the two-phase theory and in empirical correlations which predict bed expansion, heat transfer coefficients, mass transfer coefficients and chemical conversions in fluidized bed reactors (most of these models and correlations also use the bed voidage at minimum fluidization conditions). 

High Temperature. The low coefficient of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity of sihcon carbide bestow it with excellent thermal shock resistance. Combined with its outstanding corrosion resistance, it is used in heat-transfer components such as recuperator tubes, and furnace components such as thermocouple protection tubes, cmcibles, and burner components. Sihcon carbide is being used for prototype automotive gas turbine engine components such as transition ducts, combustor baffles, and pilot combustor support (145). It is also being used in the fabrication of rotors, vanes, vortex, and combustor. 

Description These exchangers are typically a series of stacked helical-coiled tubes connected to manifolds, then inserted into a casing or shell. They have many advantages hke spiral-plate designs, such as avoiding differential expansion problems, acceleration effects of the helical flow increasing the heat transfer coefficient, and compactness of plot area. They are typically selected because of their economical design. 

The cooling coil in a reactor has a surface area of 10,000 ft2. Under the most severe conditions the coils can contain water at 32°F and can be exposed to superheated steam at 400°F. Given a heat transfer coefficient of 50 Btu/hr-ft2-°F, estimate the volumetric expansion rate of the water in the cooling coils in gpm.
