Engine oil at a hundred degrees Fahrenheit passes through 1/8 inch diameter tube at a volume flow rate of 50ft3/m . If the surface temperature is 150 degrees F, what is the heat transfer rate Q.
Q = ?????? Btu/h. Assume a smooth surface and the tube length is 5 meters.
From the book use p (density) = 54.24 lbm/ft3,,
Specific heat = 0.4809 Btu/(lbm*R) R=Rankin,
Thermal conductivity = k= 0.08207 Btu/(h*ft*R)
u = 7.617 * 10 -2 lbm/ft*s, u = fluid viscosity
Pr = 1607, Pr = Prandtl number
