Question

For a hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed laminar flow through a circular pipe of constant cross section, the Nusselt number at constant wall heat flux (Nuq) and that at constant wall temperature (NuT) are related as

Options :

  1. Nuq = NuT

  2. Nuq < NuT

  3. Nuq > NuT

  4. Nuq = (NuT )2

Show Answer

Answer :

Nuq > NuT

Solution :

For fully developed laminar flow through pipes,

Nusselt number value corresponding to uniform heat flux is 4.36.

Nusselt number value corresponding to uniform wall temperature is 3.66.

Hence,   Nuq > NuT
