A) the drag force exerted on the pipe per unit length of the pipe is; f_d = 3.24 N/m

B) The rate of heat transfer from the pipe per unit length of the pipe is; Q' = 518.36 W/m

We are given;

Diameter of pipe; D = 25 mm = 0.025 m

Pressure; P = 1 atm

Velocity; V = 15 m/s

Surface temperature; T_s = 100°C

Airstream Temperature; T_∞ =  25 °C

Now, from table of properties of air;

Kinematic viscosity of air; ν = 19.31 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

k = 0.0288 w/m.k

Density; ρ = 1.048 kg/m³

Formula for Reynold's Number is;

Re = VD/ν

Thus; Re = 15 × 0.025/(19.31 × 10⁻⁶)

Re = 1.941 × 10⁴

  • A) The formula for drag force is;

f_d = C_d * D * ρ * V²/2

where C_d is drag coefficient and since this is a smooth cylinder, from online tables, the drag coefficient is 1.1. Thus;

f_d = 1.1 * 0.025 * 1.048 * 15²/2

f_d = 3.24 N/m

  • B) The formula for the rate of heat transfer from the pipe per unit length of the pipe is;

Q' = h'(πD) * (T_s - T_∞)

Formula for h' the convection heat transfer coefficient is;

h' = (kC/d) * R_e * m * Pr^(¹/₃)

where;

The Prandtl number; Pr = 0.702

C = 0.193

m = 0.618

Thus;

h' = (0.0288 * 0.913/0.025) * 1.941 × 10⁴ * 0.702^(¹/₃)

h' = 88 w/m².kg

Thus;

Q' = 88(π * 0.025) * (100 - 25)

Q' = 518.36 W/m
