diameter 5m long tube .the tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater diameter 5m long tube .the tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater
that provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer that provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer
surface of the heater is well insulated so that in steady operation all the heat surface of the heater is well insulated so that in steady operation all the heat
generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is
to provide hot water at a rate of 10L/min, determine the power rating of the to provide hot water at a rate of 10L/min, determine the power rating of the
resistance heater. Also estimate the inner surface temperature of the tube at resistance heater. Also estimate the inner surface temperature of the tube at
exit. exit.
