Water flows at 50 C inside a 2.5-cm-inside-diameter tube such that h, =3500 W/m2 C. The tube has a wall thickness of 0.8 mm with a thermal conductivity of 16 W/m C. The outside of the tube loses heat by free convection with h, =7.6W/m²C. Calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient and heat loss per unit length to surrounding air at 20 C.

Water flows at 50°C inside a 2.5-cm-inside-diameter tube such that h, =3500 W/m²'C. The tube has a
wall thickness of 0.8 mm with a thermal conductivity of 16 W/m C. The outside of the tube loses heat
by free convection with h. =7.6W/m²C. Calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient and heat loss per
unit length to surrounding air at 20 C.
