An air pipe carries cool air at an inlet bulk temperature of 15C and a velocity of 12 m/s. The pipe is made of carbon steel of 0.25 m diameter, it is not insulated, and it( the pipe) will be maintained at temperature of 120C in order to raise the flowing air temperature to 45C. Calculate the Reynolds number, the heat transfer coefficient in W/(m^2K) and the lenght of this pipe in meters. Use Table A.4 to read the air properties.

An air pipe carries cool air at an inlet bulk temperature of 15C and a velocity of 12 m/s. The pipe is made of carbon steel of 0.25 m diameter, it is not insulated, and it( the pipe) will be maintained at temperature of 120C in order to raise the flowing air temperature to 45C. Calculate the Reynolds number, the heat transfer coefficient in W/(m^2K) and the lenght of this pipe in meters. Use Table A.4 to read the air properties.
