  1. Water flows through a tube of diameter 25 mm at an average velocity of 1.0 m/s. The properties of water are ρ = 1000 kg/m3, μ= 7.25 × 104 Ns/m², k = 0.625 W/mK, Pr = 4.85. Using Nu = 0.023 Re0.8 Pr0.4, the convective heat transfer coefficient (inW/m²K) is _______
    1. 4613.66
      W
      m²K

    2. 4613.66
      W
      mK
    3. 4213.66
      W
      m²K
    4. None of the above
Correct Option: A

Re =
ρvd
μ

=
1000 × 1 × 25 × 103
7.25 × 10-4

= 34482.75
Pr = 4.85
Nu = 0.023 Re0.8 Pr0.4.
Nu = .0.23 × (34482.758)0.8 (4.85)0.4.
= 184.546
&Nu =
hd
k

h =
Nu.k
d

=
184.546 × 0.625
25 × 10-3

= 4613.66
W
