Question

An airstream of speed 160 m/s and temperature 3000 K travels on the inside of a 30 cm I.D. steel tube whose wall thickness is 2.5 mm. On the outside of

the tube, water coolant flows coaxially in an annular space 6.1 mm thick. The coolant velocity is 10 m/s, and it has a local temperature of 15°C. Both flows are approximately fully developed. The pressure of the airstream is around 140 kPa. Estimate the maximum wall temperature of the tube.
