An aniline-alcohol solution is flowing at a velocity of 3 m/s through a long, 2.5 cm-ID thin-wall tube. Steam is condensing at atmospheric pressure, on the outer surface of the tube, and the tube-wall temperature is 100°C. The tube is clean, and there is no thermal resistance due to a scale deposit on the inner surface. Using the physical properties tabulated below, estimate the heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and the pipe using and compare the results. Assume that the bulk temperature of the aniline solution is 20°C and neglect entrance effects.
