The heat transfer coefficient for a pipe can be determined using the dimensions D=0.006m and L=0.01m, along with a mass flow rate of m' = 0.019 kg/s. Essential fluid transport properties include thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, and heat capacity. The Reynolds number and Prandtl number must be calculated first, followed by applying standard heat transfer correlations found in Perry's or Marks' handbook to derive the heat transfer coefficient.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, thermal analysts, and students in mechanical or chemical engineering focusing on heat transfer and fluid dynamics in piping systems.
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.Laurry said: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?
