Question - What Is A Good Approximation For The Heat Transfer Coefficient Of Hydrocarbons Inside 3/4" Tubes?
Answer -
Use the following equation to estimate the heat transfer coefficient when liquid is flowing inside 3/4 inch tubing: Hio = 150./sqrt(avg. viscosity) Where: Hio (BTU/ft2-hr-0F Viscosity (cP) this is limited to a maximum viscosity of 3 cP.
