In an industrial refrigeration system, brine (10 % NaCl by weight) having a viscosity of 0.0016 (Ns)/m2 and a thermal conductivity of 0.85 W/(m K) is flowing through a long 2.5-cm-ID pipe at 6.1 m/s. Under these conditions, the heat transfer coefficient was found to be 16,500 W/(m2 K). For a brine temperature of –1°C and a pipe temperature of 18.3°C, determine the temperature rise of the brine per meter length of pipe if the velocity of the brine is doubled. Assume that the specific heat of the brine is 3768 J/(kg K) and that its density is equal to that of water.
