A fluid is flowing through two different tubes of same cross-section area. We are to compare the heat transfer rate in these two tubes over the same length. First tube is circular cross-section and the second one has a square cross-section. The flow is laminar and fully-developed in both cases. The tube surface can be approximated as isothermal in both cases. Also assume that the average temperature difference between the surface and the fluid is approximately the same in both cases. What is the ratio of the heat transfer rates (between the tube and the fluid) between the first and second tube?

Water is to be heated from 35 °C to 65 °C in a rough tube with a relative roughness of 0.001. The tube has an electric heater provides a constant heat flux such that the tube average wall temperature is 20 °C above the average water bulk temperature. The Reynolds number used for calculating the heat-transfer coefficient is 100,000. Calculate the length of tube required for heating, expressed in meters, if the tube has a diameter of 1 cm.
An electric resistance heater is embedded in a long cylinder ofdiameter 30mm. When water with a temperature of 25 C and velocityof 1m/s flows crosswise over the cylinder, the power per unit lengthrequired to maintain the surface at a uniform temperature of 90 C is28kW/m. When air, also at 25 C, but with a velocity of 10m/s isflowing, the power per unit length required to maintain the samesurface temperature is 400W/m. Calculate and compare the convectioncoefficients for the flows of water and air.
