Question: 8 - 5 3 cas In a heating system, liquid water flows in a circular tube with a length of 3 m and an inner

8-53 cas In a heating system, liquid water flows in a circular tube with a length of 3 m and an inner diameter of 12.5 mm . The water enters the tube at 15C, where it is heated at a rate of 1.5 kW . The tube surface is maintained at a constant temperature. The flow is laminar, and it experiences a pressure loss of 5 Pa in the tube. According to the service restrictions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPVC.IV-2015, HG-101), hot water heaters should not be operating at temperatures exceeding 120C at or near the heater outlet. The tube's inner surface is lined with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) lining. According to the ASME Code for Process Piping (ASME B31.3-2014, Table A323.4.3), the recommended maximum temperature for PVDF lining is 135C. To comply with both ASME codes, determine (a) whether the water exiting the tube is at a temperature below 120C, and (b) whether the inner surface temperature of the tube exceeds 135C. Evaluate the fluid properties at 80C. Is this an appropriate temperature at which to evaluate the fluid projerties?
