Energy Balance
 An energy balance can be applied to determine the variation of
Tm(x) and how convection heat transfer is related to the tube
inlet and outlet temperature difference.
Simplified energy balance equation:

qconv  mC p Tm,o  Tm,i 
Applying this into the differential control volume:

dqconv  mC p Tm  dTm   Tm   mC p dTm 2
Energy Balance
The equation can be cast in a convenient form,
dqconv  qPdx where P the surface perimeter.
From these two relations,

dTm qP P
  h Tw  Tm 
dx mC p mC p
This is an very useful expression from which the axial variation of
Tm can be determined.
The solution of it depends on the surface thermal condition i.e.

constant surface heat flux and constant surface temperature. 3
Constant Surface Heat Flux
For constant surface heat flux, the total heat transfer,
Qconv  q  PL  where P the surface perimeter.
It can also be shown,

dTm qP
  constant  f ( x)
dx mC p
By integrating,
qP
Tm  x   Tm,i  x q  constant
mC p
Thus the mean temperature varies linearly with x along the tube.

Constant Surface Heat Flux
The difference Ts-Tm is initially small, due to large value of h in the

entrance region, and then the difference increases with x due to
decrease in h as the boundary layer develops.
Since h is constant in the fully developed region, Ts-Tm should also

be constant, and is shown in the figure.
Constant Surface Temperature
In this case,

Thus the temperature difference decays exponentially with x along

the tube.
Now,

Problem
A water heating system where water passes through a thick-walled
tube having inner and outer diameters of 20 and 40 mm. A
uniform heat generation rate of 106 W/m3 is provided via
electrical heating, and the outer surface of the tube is well
insulated. The system heats water from an inlet temperature of
20oC to an outlet temperature of 60oC.
1. For a water mass flow rate of 0.1 kg/s, how long must the
tube be to achieve the desired outlet temperature?
2. If the inner surface temperature of the tube is 70oC at the
outlet, what is the local convection heat transfer coefficient at
the outlet?
Solution: Given,
Di  20 mm, Do  40 mm, q  106 W / m3
Tm,i  20o C , Tm,o  60o C , m  0.1 kg / s 9
