Question
Water flows at 1 kg/s in a 10 mm diameter tube and is to be heated from 25 to 75 ° C. The
tube surface temperature is maintained at 100 °C.
Using the following properties for the water:
p= 998 kg/m?, Cp = 4171 J/kg K, k = 0.651 W/m K, µs = 4.71 x 104 kg/m s,
Hw = 2.82 x 104 kg/m s and Pr = 3.02.
a) What is the required tube length for these conditions?
b) To design a water heating system, consider using tube diameters in the range from
10 to 30 mm. What are the required tube lengths for water flow rate of 1 kg/s? Plot
the tube length as a function of tube diameter.
c)
Plot the pressure gradient as a function of the tube diameter for the given water flow
rate of 1 kg/s. Assume tube wall is smooth.
