Flow in an Annulus and Pressure Drop. Water flows in the annulus of a hori- zontal, concentric-pipe heat exchanger and is being heated from 40°C to 50°C in the exchanger which has a length of 30 m of equivalent straight pipe. The flow rate of the water is 2.90 x 10-3m³/s. The inner pipe is 1-in. schedule 40 and the outer is 2-in. schedule 40. What is the pressure drop? Use an average temper- ature of 45°C for bulk physical properties. Assume that the wall temperature is an average of 4°C higher than the average bulk temperature so that a correction can be made for the effect of heat transfer on the friction factor.
