A tube of 15 mm LD. is maintained at a constant temperature of 60°C while water is allowed to floy through it at a rate of 10 ml/s. The temperature of water at entry is 20°C and it has been measured tote 34.0°C at a point at 1.0 m from the entry.

A 200-m-long section of the horizontal pipeline passes through icy waters of a lake at O°C. Measurements indicate that the surface temperature of the pipe is very nearly O°C. Disregarding the thermal resistance of the pipe material, determine (a) the temperature of the oil when the pipe leaves the lake, (b) the rate of heat transfer from the oil, and (c) the pumping power required to overcome the pressure losses and to maintain the flow of the oil in the pipe. _ Veve _ (2 m/s)(0.3 m) Re = = 9429 X 10 me = 636 which 1s less than the entical Reynolds number of 2300.
