Water enters a tube at 27°C with a flow rate of 450 kg/h. The rate of heat transfer from the tube wall to the fluid is given as qs′(W/m)=ax, where the coefficient a is 20 W/m^2 and x(m) is the axial distance from the tube entrance. (a) Beginning with a properly defined differential control volume in the tube, derive an expression for the temperature distribution Tm(x) of the water. (b) What is the outlet temperature of the water for a heated section 30 m long? (c) Sketch the mean fluid temperature, Tm(x), and the tube wall temperature, Ts(x), as a function of distance along the tube for fully developed and developing flow conditions.
