Calculation Procedure
1. Select the appropriate heat-transfer coefficient equation. Heat-transfer coefficients for fluids
flowing inside tubes or ducts can be calculated using these equations:
a. For Reynolds numbers (DG/) greater than 8000,
h
0.023
=
2/3
cG
(c/k) (Di G/)0.2 (w /b )0.14
b. For Reynolds numbers (DG/) less than 2100,
1.86
h
=
cG
(c/k)2/3 (Di G/)2/3 (L/Di )1/3 (w /b )0.14
In these equations,

3. Calculate h. From the preceding calculations, DG/ = 1263.8 at a flow rate of of 100 lb/h.
Therefore,
