Air enters a 25-cm-diameter 12-m-long underwater duct at


Question: Air enters a 25-cm-diameter 12-m-long underwater duct at 50°C and 1 atm at a mean velocity of 7 m/s, and is cooled by the water outside. If the average heat transfer coefficient is 85 W/m2K and the tube temperature is nearly equal to the water temperature of 10°C, determine the exit temperature of air and the rate of heat transfer. Evaluate air properties at a bulk mean temperature of 30°C. Is this a good assumption?
