Replot the data points of Figure 5.9(b) on log-log paper and find an equation approximating the best correlation line. Compare your results with Figure 5.10. Then, suppose that steam at 1 atm and 100°C is flowing across a 5-cm-OD pipe at a velocity of 1 m/s. Using the data in Figure 5.10, estimate the Nusselt number, the heat transfer coefficient, and the rate of heat transfer per meter length of pipe if the pipe is at 200°C and compare with predictions from your correlation equation.

Coulomb's Law: As shown in the figure, charge q1 = 2.2 × 10-6 C is placed at the origin and charge q2 = -3.30 × 10-6 C is placed on the x-axis, at x = -0.200 m. Where along the x-axis can a third charge Q = -8.30 × 10-6 C be placed so that the resultant force on Q is zero?
