Question: Liquid sodium is to be heated from 500 K to 600 K by passing it at a flow rate of 5.0 kg/s through a 5

Liquid sodium is to be heated from 500 K to 600 K by passing it at a flow rate of 5.0 kg/s through a 5 cm ID tube whose surface is maintained at 620 K. What length of tube is required?GIVENLiquid sodium flow in a tubeBulk temperaturesInlet (Tb,in) = 500 KOutlet (Tb,out) = 600 KInside tube diameter (D) = 5 cm = 0.05 mTube surface temperature (Ts) = 620 KMass flow rate (m) = 5.0 kg/sASSUMPTIONSSurface temperature is constant anduniform

T= 620 K %3D Sodlum Tain - 500 K Toout =600 K

T= 620 K %3D Sodlum Tain - 500 K Toout =600 K D=5 cm rh-5 kg/s L=?
