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 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
