Kerosene enters a 5 cm diameter tube at 35C with a velocity of 3 m/s. The tube is wrapped with a resistance heating element so that when it is energized a uniform heat flux is imposed on the tube. At the exit of the tube, the temperature of the kerosene is to be 45C. A constraint is placed on the process, such that the local kerosene temperature cannot exceed 80C; this is likely to occur at the wall of the...
