Question: Oil flows through a horizontal pipe with an inner diameter of D = 0 . 0 2 , and length of L = 5 m

Oil flows through a horizontal pipe with an inner diameter of D=0.02,and length of L=5m. A uniform heat flux of q=800W/m2q'' is applied to the pipe wall. The inlet temperature of the oil is Tin=20C and the average flow velocity is um=0.2m/s.
A- Calculate the Reynolds number and determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
B- Using an appropriate correlation for fully developed flow with constant heat flux, calculate the average heat transfer coefficient.
C- Find the temperature of the oil at the outlet of the pipe.
