Suppose an engineer suggests that air instead of water could flow through the tube and the velocity of the air could be increased until the heat transfer coefficient with the air equals that obtained with water at 1.5 m/s. Determine the velocity required and comment on the feasibility of the engineer’s suggestion. Note that the speed of sound in air at 100°C is 387 m/s.

GIVEN
• Air flow through a tube
• Bulk inlet air temperature (Tb,in) = 93°C
• Tube diameter (D) = 0.015 m
• Tube length (L) = 0.3 m
• Tube surface temperature (Ts) = 204°C
• From Problem 7.32: h ,c L = 13,037 W/(m2 K)
FIND
• The velocity (V) required to obtain h ,c L = 13,037 W/(m2 K)
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state
• Constant and uniform tube temperature
