During a static test a certain steel thrust chamber is cooled by water in its coolingjacket. The following data are given for the temperature range and pressure of thecoolant:Average water temperature 100FThermal conductivity of water 1.07\times 104 Btu/sec-ft2-F/ftGas temperature 4500FSpecific gravity of water 1.00[density =62.42 lbm/ft3]Viscosity of water 2.5\times 105 lbf-sec/ft2Specific heat of water 1.3 Btu/lb-FCooling passage dimensions 1/4\times 1/2 in.2[not circular]Water flow through passage 0.585 lbm/secThickness of inner wall 1/8 in.Heat absorbed 1.3 Btu/in.2-secThermal conductivity of wall material 26 Btu/hr-ft2-F/ftDetermine (a) the film coefficient of the coolant; (b) the wall temperature on thecoolant side; (c) the wall temperature on the gas side.
