Water is to be heated from 35 °C to 65 °C in a rough tube with a relative roughness of 0.001. The tube has an electric heater provides a constant heat flux such that the tube average wall temperature is 20 °C above the average water bulk temperature. The Reynolds number used for calculating the heat-transfer coefficient is 100,000. Calculate the length of tube required for heating, expressed in meters, if the tube has a diameter of 1 cm.
