8-35 The flow rate through a specified water pipe is given. The pressure drop and the pumping power requirements are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible.
2 The entrance effects are negligible, and thus the flow is fully developed. 3 The pipe involves no components such as bends, valves, and connectors. 4 The piping section involves no work devices such as pumps and turbines.
Properties The density and dynamic viscosity of water are given to be

Therefore, useful power input in the amount of 0.508 kW is needed to overcome the frictional losses in the pipe.
Discussion The friction factor could also be determined easily from the explicit Haaland relation.
It would give f = 0.0169, which is sufficiently close to 0.0171. Also, the friction factor corresponding to
= 0 in this case is 0.0168, which indicates that stainless steel pipes can be assumed to be smooth with an error of about 2%. Also, the power input determined is the mechanical power that needs to be imparted to the fluid. The shaft power will be more than this due to pump inefficiency; the electrical power input will be even more due to motor inefficiency.
8-40 Water is to be heated in a tube equipped with an electric resistance heater on its surface.
The power rating of the heater and the inner surface temperature are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady flow conditions exist. 2 The surface heat flux is uniform. 3 The inner surfaces of the tube are smooth.

8-55 The components of an electronic system located in a rectangular horizontal duct are cooled by forced air. The exit temperature of the air and the highest component surface temperature are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady flow conditions exist. 2 The inner surfaces of the duct are smooth. 3 The thermal resistance of the duct is negligible. 4 Air is an ideal gas with constant properties. 5 The pressure of air is 1 atm.
Properties We assume the bulk mean temperature for air to be 35
C since the mean temperature of air at the inlet will rise somewhat as a result of heat gain through the duct whose surface is exposed to a constant heat flux. The properties of air at 1 atm and this temperature are (Table A-

(note from Dr. Okamoto: They really should have checked to see if it was fully developed or not.
It’s actually developing flow. We don’t have an equation in our book for developing turbulent flow. You probably get about the same amount of error by using the turbulent fully developed flow equation shown above as you would get using the laminar developing flow equation, which we do have. Both equations will underestimate h. To get a more accurate number we’d need to do a bit of research to get an equation for this particular geometry. So here you could use Equ. 8-
