In pipe flow, heat is transferred from hot wall to the liquid by__________________?

Correct answer: C. Forced convection and conduction

  • A. Conduction only
  • B. Forced convection only
  • C. Forced convection and conduction
  • D. Free and forced convection

Explanation

Heat first crosses the stationary fluid layer next to the wall by conduction, then is carried through the moving liquid by forced convection. Thus both mechanisms are involved in pipe flow.
