Question: Dry, compressed air at Tm , i = 7 5 C , P = 1 0 atm, with a mass flow rate of m =

Dry, compressed air at Tm,i =75C, P=10atm, with a mass flow rate of m =0.001 kg/s, enters a 0.03-m-diameter, 5-m-long tube whose surface is at Ts =25C.
a.) Determine the thermal entry length, the mean temperature of the air at the tube outlet, and the total rate of heat transfer from the air to the tube wall. For this part, calculate h assuming fully developed laminar flow in the entire tube. Evaluate fluid properties using average of Tm,i and Ts.
b.) Determine the thermal entry length, the mean temperature of the air at the tube outlet, and the total rate of heat transfer from the air to the tube
wall. For this part, treat the entry region and the fully developed regions separately to calculate h. Evaluate fluid properties using average of Tm,i and Ts.(Hint: for entry region, you will need to use eqns. 8.56 and 8.57 from (8th Ed.)
c.) Compare the heat transfer rates from parts (a) and (b) and explain why they are different?
