Chapter 8: Problem 74
A 10 -m-long and 10 -mm-inner-diameter pipe made of commercial steel is used to heat a liquid in an industrial process. The liquid enters the pipe with \(T_{i}=25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, V=0.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). 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 \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Assuming fully developed flow and taking the average fluid properties to be \(\rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}, c_{p}=\) \(4000 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}, \mu=2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s}, k=0.48 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}\), and \(\operatorname{Pr}=10\), determine: (a) The required surface heat flux \(\dot{q}_{s}\), produced by the heater (b) The surface temperature at the exit, \(T_{s}\) (c) The pressure loss through the pipe and the minimum power required to overcome the resistance to flow.
