Now, let's revisit Example 2B.1. We solved that problem by using the Nu correlation for mixed flow and found that the heat transfer rate is 48.5 kW. We want to revisit that decision. (a) Find out what portion/fraction of the flow is laminar and what portion/fraction is turbulent. In other words, how much of the 16-m length is under laminar flow and how much is under turbulent flow? (Hint: You will have to find out the location where the flow became turbulent) (b) If one assumed the flow to be fully turbulent (for the entire length) instead of assuming it mixed, how much will the rate of heat transfer change from the answer given in the example?
