The equation has been proposed by Hausen for the transition range (2300 < Re < 8000) as well as for higher Reynolds numbers. Compare the values of Nu predicated by Hausen’s equation for Re = 3000 and Re = 20,000 at D/L = 0.1 and 0.01 with those obtained from Gnielinski correlation. Assume the fluid is water at 15°C flowing through a pipe at 100°C.

GIVEN
• Water flowing through a pipe
• The Hausen correlation given above
• Water temperature = 15°C
• Pipe temperature = 100°C
FIND
• The Nusselt number using the Hausen correlation and appropriate equations and charts in the text for Re = 3000 and 20,000 and D/L = 0.1 and 0.01
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state
• Constant and uniform pipe temperature
