question

Oil flows through a tube, and heat is transferred to it by forced convection. The tube is 15 ft. long, and its internal diameter measures 0.0303 ft. The flow is measured at 80 lbm/hr, and the wall surface temperature is constant at 350°F. Properties of the oil are: C_p = 0.5 Btu/lbm-°Fk = 0.083 Btu/hr-ft-°F The viscosity-temperature profile is given by the following data: T(°F) (lbm/ft-hr) 150 15.73 200 12.22 250 9.2 300 6.82 350 4.72 Calculate the heat transfer coefficient and the mean exit temperature of the oil, assuming that is enters the tube at a temperature of 150°F.
