Question:
Determine the rate of heat transfer per foot length to a light oil flowing through a 1-in.-ID, 2-ft-long copper tube at a velocity of 6 fpm. The oil enters the tube at 60?F and the tube is heated by steam condensing on its outer surface at atmospheric pressure with a heat transfer coefficient of 2000 Btu/(h ft2 ?F). The properties of the oil at various temperatures are listed in the accompanying tabulation
