a) Consider heat transfer to oil flow inside a copper pipe. Is the pipe length affecting the heat
transfer rate into the oil? Briefly explain.
b) Used engine oil can be recycled by a patented reprocessing system. Suppose that such a system
includes a process during which engine oil flows through a 1-cm-internal diameter, 0.02-cm-
wall copper tube at the rate of 0.05 kg/s. The oil enters at 35°C and is to be heated to 45°C by
atmospheric-pressure steam condensing on the outside, as shown in figure given below.

Determine the condensing steam temperature at 1 atm, T. [°C].
Calculate the convection heat transfer coefficient for the oil inside the pipe, [W/m'.K].
Calculate the rate of heat transfer rate into the oil, [kW], and,
