TABLE OF CONTENTS Even when a fluid flows through a circular pipe, heat-transfer calculations are not as simple as a practicing engineer would like them to be. The following calculations, which were contributed by academics, a consultant, and an engineer working in industry, are useful for dealing with real-life situations:
Assessment of performance of heat-exchanging equipment and development of heat-transfer correlations
The case of a pumped fluid entering a heated pipe as a slightly subcooled or saturated liquid, being heated sufficiently to cause vaporization, and leaving the pipe as liquid-vapor mixture or totally vapor; or the inverse, which is related, in which the vessel pressure and the exit pressure fix the driving force, and the flow rate from the vessel is required
When a waxy crude oil containing high-molecular-weight alkanes or paraffin waxes flowing through a pipeline is exposed to a cold environment that is below its freezing-point temperature (or solubility temperature), and solids deposition on the pipe wall is likely to occur
The combustor of a hypersonic vehicle over a critical portion of its flight trajectory
