Calculate the Nusselt number and the convection heat transfer coefficient for water at a bulk temperature of 32°C flowing at a velocity of 1.5 m/s through a 2.54-cm-ID duct with a wall temperature of 43°C. Use the Gnielinski correlation and two other correlations given in te text and cmpare the results.

GIVEN
• Water flowing through a duct
• Bulk water temperature (Tb) = 32°C
• Water velocity (V) = 1.5 m/s
• Inside diameter of duct (D) = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m
• Duct wall surface temperature (Ts) = 43°C
FIND Use three different methods to find (a) The Nusselt number (NuD)
(b) The convective heat transfer coefficient (hc)
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state
• Fully developed, incompressible flow
