- In the final stages of production, a pharmaceuticalis sterilized by heating it from 30°C to 75°C as it moves at0.2 m/s through a straight thin-walled stainless steeltube of 12.7-mm diameter. A uniform heat flux is maintained by an electric resistance heater wrappedaround the outer surface of the tube. If the tube is 10 m long, what is the required heat flux? If fluidenters the tube with a fully developed velocity profile and a uniform temperature profile, what is thesurface temperature at the tube exit?

To reduce heat loss to the surroundings and to maintain a safe-to-touch outer surface temperature, a layer of calcium silicate insulation (k = 0.10 W/m K) is applied to the tubes, while degradation of the insulation is reduced by degradation of the insulation is reduced by wrapping it in a thin sheet of aluminium having an emissivity of ε= 0.20. The air and wall temperatures of the power plant are 27ºC.

The liquid enters the pipe with Ti=25°C, V=0.8 m/s. A uniform heat flux is maintained by an electric resistance heater wrapped arounf the outer surface of the pipe, so that the fluid exits at 75°C.
