Heat and Mass Transfer

Subtopic: Steady state heat transfer in conduction, convection and radiation

Question Statement:

Water flows inside a pipe of internal diameter $D = 0.025\text{ m}$ with thermal conductivity $k = 0.60\text{ W/(m}\cdot\text{K)}$. If the forced convection heat transfer coefficient is $h = 2400\text{ W/(m}^2\cdot\text{K)}$, the Nusselt number ($Nu = \frac{h D}{k}$) is ________ (answer in integer).

Answer Key:

100

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Nusselt number definition: $Nu = \frac{h D}{k} = \frac{2400 \times 0.025}{0.60} = \frac{60.0}{0.60} = 100$
