Fully developed (both hydrodynamic and thermal) laminar flow is pushed through a thin-walled circular pipe of diameter 13 mm. The fluid flows through the pipe at a velocity of 0.1 m/sec, has a density of 1000 kg/m^3, a dynamic viscosity of 855 x 10^-6 Pa-sec, a specific heat of 4000 J/kg-K, a Prandtl number of 8, and a thermal conductivity of 0.613 W/(m-K).

The outside of the pipe is subjected to uniform cross flow where the free-stream velocity is 5 m/sec, the density is 1 kg/m^3, the dynamic viscosity is 180 x 10^-7 Pa-sec, the Prandtl number is 0.7, the specific heat is 1000 J/(kg-K), and the thermal conductivity is 0.02 W/(m-K).

The pipe (remember the flow is fully developed everywhere) is 10 m long and is wrapped with a thin heater that is generating uniform flux around the periphery of the pipe.

A) What is the specific thermal resistance (K-m^2/W) at a point 5 m into the pipe from the interior surface of the wall to the mean fluid temperature?

B) Using the conditions outlined above for the isoflux pipe in cross-flow, what is the specific thermal resistance (K-m^2/W) from the outside surface of the pipe (or thin heater surface if you want to think of it like that) to the free stream cross-flow fluid?

Poiseuille flow describes laminar flow in a circular pipe. The velocity distribution in such flow has a parabolic form. Prove that the mean velocity is equal to one-half of the maximum velocity in this type of flow. Be sure to show all of your work. (Hint: the analysis is similar to that done for laminar flow between parallel plates)

You are studying the laminar flow of water in a pipe at 20˚C. The pipe is 2 cm in diameter, and the pressure gradient driving the flow is 0.8 Pa/m. Find the x-sectional average velocity (Poiseuille’s Law) and the maximum velocity achieved at the centerline of the pipe (use the equation for Umax presented in the alternative derivation of Poiseuille’s Law). How many times greater is the maximum velocity compared to the average velocity? Is this ū/umax ratio constant or...
