Determine the rate of heat transfer per meter length to a light oil flowing through a 2.5 cm-ID, 60 cm-long copper tube at a velocity of 0.03 m/s. The oil enters the tube at 16°C and the tube is heated by steam condensing on its outer surface at atmospheric pressure with a heat transfer coefficient of 11.3 kW/( m2 K). The properties of the oil at various temperatures are listed in the accompanying tabulation
