The Nusselt number for fully developed (both thermally and hydrodynamically) laminar flow through a circular pipe, where the wall heat flux is constant, is__________________?

Correct answer: B. 4.36

  • A. 2.36
  • B. 4.36
  • C. 120.36
  • D. Dependent on NRe only

Explanation

For fully developed laminar flow in a circular tube with constant wall heat flux, the standard Nusselt number is Nu = 4.36. The value 3.66 applies to the constant wall-temperature condition.
