Discussion Forum : Heat Transfer - Section 8 (Q.No. 42)
42.
The Sieder-Tate correlation for heat transfer in turbulent flow in pipe gives Nu α Re0.8, where, Nu is the Nusselt number and Re is the Reynolds number for the flow. Assuming that this relation is valid, the heat transfer co-efficient varies with the pipe diameter (D) as
(D)-1.8
(D))-0.2
(D)0.2
(D)1.8

Q = v*A.
Q/A = v.
Nu=(v*d/Viscosity)^0.8.
hd/k=(Q/D^2/4*D)^0.8,
h = (4Q/D)^0.8/D,
h = k*D^-1.8.

The correct answer is B.

Simply use=hD/k=(density*v*D/viscosity)^0.8.
