Assuming for the moment that the flow is laminar, the bulk velocity may be determined from the measured centre-line velocity.
Mean velocity for laminar flow through pipes is given by Umean


(Substituting property values for air at 500 K).
Since Red < 2300, the flow is laminar.
For constant heat flux boundary condition

Mean heat flux through the pipe wall between sections (a) and (b) is

Since q is given as constant along the length of the pipe

Whe re Tw is the wall temperature and Tm is the mean bulk temperature of air at section
(b).

Test: Convective Heat Transfer: One Dimensional Level - 3 - Question 3

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.
Given Nu = 0.023 Re0.8 Pr0.4

Detailed Solution for Test: Convective Heat Transfer: One Dimensional Level - 3 - Question 3

In case of turbulent flow through a tube, the average value of heat transfer coefficient is prescribed by the relation

Further as there is no change in the temperatures, the fluid properties remain constant.
(i) When the tube diameter and the fluid properties remain constant

That is, a two-fold increase in the flow velocity results into 74.1% increase in heat transfer.
(ii) when the flow velocity and the fluid properties remain unchanged

That is, with two-fold increase in tube diameter, the heat transfer decreases by 13%.
