Consider laminar, fully developed flow in a channel of constant surface temperature T S . For a given mass how rate and channel length, determine which rectangular channel, b / a = 1 .0 , 1 . 43 , or 2.0, will provide the highest heat transfer rate. Is this heat transfer rate greater than, equal to, or less than the heat transfer rate associated with a circular tube?

Current Attempt in Progress
Consider pressurized water, engine oil (unused), and Nak (22 %/78%) flowing in a 20-mm-diameter tube.
(a) Determine the mean velocity, in m/s, the hydrodynamic entry length, in m, and the thermal entry length, in m, for each of the fluids
when the fluid temperature is 366 K and the flow rate is 0.014 kg/s.
(b) Determine the mass flow rate, in kg/s, the hydrodynamic entry length, in m, and the thermal entry length, in m, for water and engine

Engine oil flows at a rate of 0.95 kg/s through a tube of 119 mm inside diameter and is heated from 293 to 327 K by condensing steam at 373 K. For the described case answer the following:i. Identify the type of flow and explain briefly about the flow with suitable assumptions & sketches.ii. Determine the inside heat transfer coefficient and rate of heat transfer per meter length of pipe for the identified flow pattern.
