Question: ( b ) Water at 2 2 C flows through a steel pipe with a velocity of 0 . 3 0 m s - 1

(b) Water at 22C flows through a steel pipe with a velocity of 0.30ms-1. The pipe has an inside diameter of 3.8cm. Determine the heat transfer film coefficient, h, based on the inside surface of the pipe. Take density of the water () as 963.2kgm-3, viscosity ()=3.0610-4kgm-1s-1, its thermal conductivity (k)=0.678Wm-1C-1 and the heat capacity, (Cp)=4183Jkg-10C-1.
Use the relations: =0.023(Re)0.8(Pr)0.4 for turbulent flow, and =0.86(Re)0.43(Pr)0.3 for streamline flow.
(c) Saturated steam flows in the annulus of a single effect evaporator at a gauge pressure of 125kPa. The outer evaporator tube is made of carbon steel and I.D.=120mm, O.D.(:=130(mm)}. It is lagged with a 10mm thickness of kapok )=(0.0346(W)m-1C-1 and 15mm thick layer magnesia (kmagnesia=0.233Wm-1C-1.
If the temperature of the lagging in contact with air is 37C, determine the heat loss from the lagged evaporator tube.
Refer to the Steam Tables in Appendix 1.
