Jojoba oil is flowing through a -nom stainless steel pipe at a flow rate of 1,850 lbm/h.

Jojoba oil is flowing through a ¾-nom stainless steel pipe at a flow rate of 1,850 lbm/h.
After the velocity profile in the pipe is fully developed, the oil enters a heater, as shown in Figure P5.7. The length of the heater section is 5 ft. The properties of the jojoba oil at the average temperature in the heater section are given in Table P5.7.
Determine the convective heat transfer coefficient inside the heater section of the pipe.
