A liquid (NOT WATER) is passed through a tube with a square cross section of 0.01m x 0.01m at a Reynolds number of 2,000. The liquid has a Prandtl number of 1, a thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/mK, and a heat capacity of 4,000 J/kg*K. Simultaneously, air is blown at a speed of 20 m/s and a temperature of 25°C over the outside of the tube such that the flow is perpendicular to one of the square sides. The liquid...
