 **Please make the process easy to understand and clearly. An empirical

An empirical equation for calculating the inside heat transfer coefficient, hi, for the turbulent flow of liquids in a pipe is given by: 0.023 G0.8 K0.67 Cp0.33 hi = D0.2 40.47 hi = heat transfer coefficient, Btu/ (hr- ft2 - F) G = mass velocity of the liquid, Ibm / (hr- ft) K = thermal conductivity of the liquid, Btu/ (hr-ft-F) Cp = heat capacity of the liquid, Btu/ (lbm-F) u = Viscosity of the liquid, Ibm / (ft-hr) D = inside diameter of the pipe, (ft) a. Verify if the equation is dimensionally consistent. b. What will be the value of the constant, given as 0.023, if all the variables in the equation are inserted in SI units and hi is in Si units
