Calculate the water side heat transfer coefficient and the coolant pressure drop per unit length of tube for the core of a compact air-to-water intercooler for a 3.7 MW gas turbine plant. The water flows inside of a flattened aluminum tube having the cross- section shown belowThe inside diameter of the tube before it was flattened was 1.23 cm with a wall thickness (t) of 0.025 cm. The water enters the tube at 15.6°C and leaves at 26.7°C at a velocity of 1.34 m/s.
