A long pipe that is 2.5 cm in diameter carries engine oil with a mean velocity of 0.3 m/s. The pipe is exposed to sunlight. The heating effect of sunlight can be idealized as a uniform heat flux of 500 W/m2·K.
a. Calculate the hydrodynamic and thermal entrance lengths.
b. Find the local mean temperature, the heat transfer coefficient, and the wall surface temperature at 12 m downstream from the entrance of the tube.
For engine oil, you can use the following properties:
