The document describes calculating the heat transfer rate profile along a 19m chilled water return pipe with a diameter of 25cm under natural convection and wind effects of 2m/s, 4m/s, and 6m/s. The calculations involve determining properties like Rayleigh number and Nusselt number to calculate the heat transfer coefficient and rate at each length. The heat transfer rate increases along the pipe length and increases with higher wind speeds, ranging from 1219.65W under natural convection to 7666.96W under a 6m/s wind. A table and graph of the results are provided.

Question 5
If the surface temperature of the pipe carrying the chilled water return (CWR) is assumed steady and uniform at 10°C along the pipe length, plot the heat transfer rate profile at the outer surface of the CWR pipe under surrounding conditions of natural convection current effect and wind effect of 2 ms-1, 4 ms-1 and 6 ms-1 velocities. The effective CWR pipe length is 19 meters with a pipe diameter of 25 cm. [CO3]
