An empirical equation for calculating the inside heat transfer coefficient, hi , for the turbulent flow of liquids in a pipe is given by: 0.023 G0.8 K0.67 Cp0.33 hị D0.2 µ0.47 where h; = heat transfer coefficient, Btu/(hr)(ft>(°F) G=mass velocity of the liquid, lbm/(hr)(ft)² K = thermal conductivity of the liquid, Btu/(hr)(ft)(F) Cp = heat capacity of the liquid, Btu/(lbm)(°F) u= Viscosity of the liquid, lbm/(ft)(hr) D= inside diameter of the pipe, (ft) Verify if the equation is dimensionally consistent.
