8-81 Air is being heated by constant wall temperature over the first 2 m of the pipe and then the heating takes place by
constant heat flux. The air temperature at the 2 m length, the air temperature at the exit, the total heat transfer to the air, and
the wall temperature at the exit of the tube are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 The flow issteady. 2 The flow is fully developed. 3 The air in first half of the pipe is being heat at constant
wall temperature. 4 The air in second half of the pipe is being heated by constant heat flux. 5 The pipe wall is smooth.
Properties The properties of air at80C are (Table A-15):
= 0.9994 kg/m3, k = 0.02953 W/mK,
= 2.097 10–5 m2/s, cp =
1008 J/kgK, and Pr=0.7154
Analysis (a) First the cross sectional and surface areas will be determined.
