Question

A fluid flowing through a tube 20ft long and of 0.62 inch inside diameter has the following has the following physical properties: 
specific heat =  0.65 BTU/lb degF
thermal conductivity = 0.085 BTU/ hr ft degF
uw = viscosity at 122 degF (tube surface temp) = 4.0 lb/ft hr
ub = viscosity at 212 degF (bulk fluid temp)= 1.95 lb/ ft  hr
