Consider the flow of oil in a tube. How will the hydrodynamic and thermal entry lengths compare if the flow is laminar? How would they compare if the flow were turbulent?

What will be an ideal response?


The hydrodynamic and thermal entry lengths are given as and for laminar flow, and in turbulent flow. Noting that Pr >> 1 for oils, the thermal entry length is larger than the hydrodynamic entry length in laminar flow. In turbulent, the hydrodynamic and thermal entry lengths are independent of Re or Pr numbers, and
