Average velocity
Internal Forced Flow
The value of the average (mean) velocity Vavg at some streamwise cross-section
Where where m is the mass flow rate, r is the density, Ac is the cross-sectional area,
and u(r) is the velocity profile.
The average velocity for incompressible flow in a circular pipe of radius R
Therefore, when we know the flow rate or the velocity profile, the average velocity
can be determined easily.

The relations above are not very sensitive to the thermal conditions at the tube
surfaces and can be used for both Ts = constant and q /A = constant cases.
Despite their simplicity, the correlations already presented give sufficiently accurate
results for most engineering purposes.
They can also be used to obtain rough estimates of the friction factor and the heat
transfer coefficients in the transition region.
Note: The relations given so far do not apply to liquid metals because of their very
low Prandtl numbers
5/12/16 | Slide 30
For liquid metals (0.004 < Pr < 0.01), the following relations are recommended by
Sleicher and Rouse (1975) for 104 < Re< 106:
where the subscript s indicates that the Prandtl number is to be evaluated at the
surface temperature.

The methods to handle fully laminar and fully turbulent heat transfer have already
been discussed, however in some cases; the flow is in this transitional zone.
Fortunately, the methods for handling turbulent flow can easily be adopted to deal
with in this region.
A simple approach is to continue to use Gnielinskis ( 1976) correlation along with f
values determined from the following expressions for two common flow geometries

Rough Surfaces
Friction factor
Any irregularity or roughness on the surface disturbs the laminar sublayer and
affects the flow. Therefore, unlike laminar flow, the friction factor and the convection
coefficient in turbulent flow are strong functions of surface roughness.
The friction factor in fully developed turbulent pipe flow depends on the Reynolds
number and the relative roughness /D, which is the ratio of the mean height of
roughness of the pipe to the pipe diameter.
f Colebrook equation
FMoody chart. It presents the Darcy friction factor for pipe flow as a function of the
Reynolds number and /D over a wide range.
Although it was developed for circular pipes, it can also be used for noncircular
pipes by replacing the diameter with the hydraulic diameter.

Rough Surfaces
Friction factor
In turbulent flow, wall roughness increases the heat transfer coefficient h by a factor
of 2 or more.
The convection heat transfer coefficient for rough tubes can be calculated
approximately from the Nusselt number relations by using the friction factor
determined from the Moody chart or the Colebrook equation.
However, this approach is not very accurate since there is no further increase in h
with f for f >4fsmooth
Therefore correlations developed specifically for rough tubes should be used when
more accuracy is desire.

The entry lengths for turbulent flow are typically short, often just 10 tube diameters
long, and thus the Nusselt number determined for fully developed turbulent flow can
be used approximately for the entire tube.
This simple approach gives reasonable results for pressure drop and heat transfer
for long tubes and conservative results for short ones.
Correlations for the friction and heat transfer coefficients for the entrance regions are
available in the literature for better accuracy.

For fully developed turbulent flow, hi and ho are approximately equal to each other,
and the tube annulus can be treated as a noncircular duct with a hydraulic diameter
of Dh = Do Di.
The Nusselt number can be determined from a suitable turbulent flow relation such
as the Gnielinski equation.
To improve the accuracy, Nusselt number can be multiplied by the following
correction factors when one of the tube walls is adiabatic and heat transfer is
through the other wall:
