Question: Develop an expression for the ratio of the rate of heat transfer to water at 40C from a thin flat strip of width D/2 and

Develop an expression for the ratio of the rate of heat transfer to water at 40°C from a thin flat strip of width πD/2 and length L at zero angle of attack and a tube of the same length and diameter D in cross-flow with its axis normal to the water flow in the Reynolds number range between 50 and 1000. Assume both surface are at 90°C.

GIVEN

  • Water flowing over a thin flat strip at zero angle of attack or a tube in crossflow
  • Water temperature (T) = 40°C
  • Tube diameter = D
  • Strip width = πD/2
  • Tube and strip length = L
  • Reynolds number: 50 < Re < 1000

ASSUMPTIONS

  • Steady state for both cases
  • The tube and strip temperatures (Ts) are 90°C

-90°C Water T= 40°C Strip -D- T = 90°C Water T.- 40°C Tube

-90C Water T= 40C Strip -D- T = 90C Water T.- 40C Tube
