Question:
Engine oil is heated by flowing through a circular tube of diameter D = 50 mm and length L = 25 m and whose surface is maintained at 150°C.
(a) If the flow rate and inlet temperature of the oil are 0.5 kg/s and 20°C, what is the outlet temperature
Tm,o? What is the total heat transfer rate q for the tube?
(b) For flow rates in the range 0.5 < m < 2.0 kg/s, compute and plot the variations of Tm,o and q with m. For what flow rate(s) are q and Tm,o maximized? Explain your results.
