Oil flows with a velocity of 4 m/s through a 30 mm diameter tube. A model of this system is to be developed using standard air as the model fluid The air velocity is to be 2 m/s What tube diameter is required for the model if dynamic similarity is to be maintained between model and prototype? Kinematic viscosity of air = 1.6 x 10-5 m2/s, Kinematic viscosity of oil = 1.2 x 10-3 m2/s 0.45 mm 0.8 mm 4.5...
An oil preheater consists of a single tube of 30-mm diameter and 7-m length, with its surface maintained at 200°C by swirling combustion gasses. The engine oil enters at 90°C and comes out at 144°C. Assume the flow is laminar and both hydraulically and thermally fully developed. Answer the following questions: (a) What flow rate must be supplied to maintain the oil outlet temperature of 144°C? (b) What is the corresponding heat transfer rate? (c) Discuss how you may refine...
A 10-mm diameter tube has a maintained surface temperature of 180°C. Engine oil enters the tube at 70°C at a flow rate of 1.3 kg/s and exits at 105°C. Find the length, in m, of the tube and well as the corresponding heat transfer rate, in W. Assume fully developed flow and use the Dittus-Boelter equation to calculate the average Nusselt number. q= W L= m

It is smooth not rough for the question being asked where AP, is the frictional pressure drop per unit length, w is the fluid velocity, d is the pipe diameter, p is the fluid density, u is the fluid viscosity and c is the pipe roughness (with units of length). Air flows through a smooth pipe (i.e. no roughness) of 0.3 m in diameter at a mean velocity of 25 m/s. A 1/10 model of the pipe is built made...
(40 points) Engine oil flows at a rate of 1 kg/s through a 5-mm diameter smooth straight tube. The oil has an inlet temperature of 47°C and it is desired to heat the oil to a mean temperature of 87°C at the exit of the tube. The surface of the tube is maintained at 150°C. Assuming the flow is fully developed both hydrodynamically and thermally, determine the required length of the tube. Note: by calculating Reynolds number at the entrance...
