Local Nusselt number for fully developed (hydrodynamically and thermally) turbulent flow in a smooth circular tube is defined by Nup-hD/kr, where h, D, and ke are the convective heat transfer coefficient, tube diameter, and fluid thermal conductivity, respectively. The friction factor for the smooth circular tube is given by the Blasius correlation, f-0.316Rep. The Reynolds number is defined by Ren-pviD/, where pr, vi, and ur are the fluid density, fluid velocity, and fluid viscosity, respectively. The Blasius correlation is applicable to Rep<2×10¹. Considering the analogy between velocity and thermal boundary layers and using the Blasius correlation, express the local Nusselt number using Reynolds and Prandtl numbers in the form of Nup-AxRepxPr. The Prandtl number is defined by Pr-wa, where and are the fluid kinematic viscosity and fluid thermal diffusivity, respectively. Note that the local Nusselt number formula should be applicable to Rep<2x10 and 0.6

Heated air at 1 atm and 100°F is to be transported in a 900-ft-long circular section plastic duct at a rate of 1.4 lb/s. I want to determine the head loss and pumping power at the three diameter values in the table below. Complete the table to help me choose a wise diameter.

A 2.4-m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 4 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, calculate (a) the initial velocity from the tank and (b) the time required to empty the tank. Does the loss coefficient of the orifice cause a significant increase in the draining time of the tank?
Air at 1atm, 35 degree celcius (ρ = 1.145 kg/m3 and μ = 1.895 x 10-5 kg/m.s) and average velocity of 7 m/s, enters a 10m section of a circular pipe with diameter of 20cm. Neglecting the entrance effects, determine the fan power needed to overcome the pressure losses in the duct. Use friction factor f= 0.020336
