Water at a local bulk temperature of 24°C flows at 0.8 m/s through a smooth, 1.5-cm-ID tube that is kept at 30°C and the flow is fully developed.

a) The system is extremely clean and quiet; therefore, the flow stays laminar regardless of the magnitude of ReD, until a noisy air compressor is turned on in the laboratory. Then the flow suddenly goes turbulent. Calculate the ratio of turbulent to laminar heat transfer coefficients. Use the Gnielinski correlation for turbulent flow.

b) Air at 227°C flows across the pipe at 20 m/s. Find the pipe wall temperature assuming the water flow to be turbulent, h from part a). You may assume a thin-walled pipe. This calculation is performed at the local point where the bulk temperature is 24°C.

Air flows into a commercial steel pipe of 5 cm ID at 70 m/s. The inlet pressure and temperature of the air are 1 MPa and 100?C, respectively. a) Determine the Mach number at a distance 60 m down the pipe if the flow is adiabatic. b) Calculate the temperature at the same point. How would you comment on the assumption of constant Re, hence constant f, along the pipe by considering the temperature variation?

Turpentine flows by gravity from tank 1 to tank 2 through 24 m of 1.5-inch diameter commercial steel pipe. Both tanks are open to atmosphere. The tanks are large, so assume that the level of turpentine in both tanks remains the same with time. The level of tank 1 is 15 m higher than the level of tank 2 (indicated on the schematic as z1 and z2). There are two standard 90° elbows and one open gate valve in the...
