Heat transfer coffefficient from mass flow

AI Thread Summary
To determine the heat transfer coefficient of a pipe with a diameter of 0.006m and length of 0.01m, and a mass flow rate of 0.019 kg/s, one must first calculate the Reynolds number and the Prandtl number using the fluid's transport properties, including thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, and heat capacity. These calculations are essential for understanding the flow regime within the pipe. Once these numbers are established, standard heat transfer correlations found in resources like Perry's or Marks' handbook can be applied to derive the heat transfer coefficient. The thickness of the pipe is not a factor in this calculation. Accurate values for the fluid properties are crucial for precise results.

If we have a pipe with dimensions

D=0.006m
L=0.01m

and a mass flow of m' = 0.019 kg/s

How can we determine the heat transfer coefficient of the pipe?

The thickness of the pipe doesn't have to be accounted for..

You also need to know the transport properties of the fluid: thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, heat capacity. Calculate the Reynolds number and the Prantdl number. Then use the standard heat transfer correlations for flow in a pipe in Perry's or Marks' handbook to get the heat transfer coefficient.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
