Water flowing through a pipe is heated by steam condensing on the outside of the pipe. (a) Assuming a uniform overall heat transfer coefficient along the pipe, derive an expression for the water temperature as a function of distance from the entrance. (b) For an overall heat transfer coefficient of 570 W/(m2 K), based on the inside diameter of 5 cm, a steam temperature of 104°C, and water-flow rate of 0.063 kg/s, calculate the length required to raise the water temperature from 15.5 to 65.5°C.
