Vegetable oil is boiled by passing steam at 215ºF through a 1-inch ID by 1.25-inch OD steel tube. Predict the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outside area of the tube if the convective heat transfer coefficients are 25 Btu/hr?ft^2?ºF for steam and 15 Btu/hr?ft^2 ?ºF for the vegetable oil. Neglect fouling factors.

What will be an ideal response?
