Question
Liquid mercury is being slowly heated for via a 8-m long tube as it flows at a rate of 0.3 kg/s. The
tube has a rectangular cross-section of 4-cmx16-cm and supplies a uniform and constant heat flux
of 1200 W/m? to mercury. Mercury enters the tube at 10°C. Evaluate the properties of mercury at
50°C.
(a) What is the thermal entry length? Comment if you can approximate the entire flow to be
fully-developed.
(b) What is the mean temperature of mercury at the outlet of the tube? Then justify if property
evaluation at 50°C was a reasonable approximation.
(c) What is the convection coefficient at the end of the tube?
(d) What is the surface temperature at the end of the tube?
