Special Topic: Transitional Flow
8-109 A liquid mixture flowing in a tube with a bell-mouth inlet is subjected to uniform wall heat flux. The friction
coefficient is to be determined.
Assumptions Steady operating conditions exist.
Properties The properties of the ethylene glycol-distilled water mixture are given to be Pr = 14.85, ν = 1.9310-6 m2/s and
b/
s = 1.07.
Analysis: For the calculation of the non-isothermal fully developed friction coefficient, it is necessary to determine the flow
regime before making any decision regarding which friction coefficient relation to use. The Reynolds number at the specified
location is
