Question
Consider incompressible laminar flow of a constant property Newtonian fluid in an isothermal circular tube. The flow is steady with fully-developed temperature and velocity profiles. The Nusselt number for this flow depends on
Options :
neither the Reynolds number nor the Prandtl number
both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers
the Reynolds number but not the Prandtl number
the Prandtl number but not the Reynolds number
Answer :
neither the Reynolds number nor the Prandtl number
Solution :
NuD = 0.023ReD4/5 Prn
Nux = 0.332Rex1/2Pr1/3 (Pr > 0.6)
