A 10 m long and 10 mm inner diameter pipe made of commercial steel (roughness height = 0.046 mm) is used to heat a liquid in an industrial process. The liquid enters the pipe with Tin = 25oC and V = 0.8 m/s. A uniform heat flux is maintained by an electric resistance heater wrapped around the outer surface of the pipe so that the fluid exits at Texit = 75oC. Taking the average fluid properties to be: ρ =...
