The effect of following conditions on the average value of heat transfer coefficient in flow through a tube:
(i) two-fold increase in flow velocity by varying mass flow rate;
(ii) two-fold increase in the diameter of tube, the flow velocity is maintained constant by a change in the rate of liquid flow It may be presumed that there is no change in the temperatures of the liquid and the tube wall, and that the flow through the tube is turbulent in character.
