FOR WATER SIDE

At avg temp = 110 deg C

rho .f (kg/m3) = 950.570342


μf = 2.42E-04
Prf = 1.562
kf = 6.84E-01

For Reynold = rho.V.di/μ


Re = 58919.6493

For Nusselt = 0.023 (Re)^0.8 (Pr)^0.4


Nu = 180.05632

Now,
Nu = hi.di/k
hi = Nu*k/di

hi = 4106.48448 W/m2.K

FOR GAS SIDE

Thermal Conductivity = k= 0.034228591 J/m.sec.degC
k= 3.422859E-05 kJ/m.sec.degC
For Prandtl = μ Cp/k
Pr = 0.69841213

rho = 0.5 kg/m3

For Reynold = Gdo/μ

For Nusselt = 0.33*FH*FN*Re^0.6*Pr*0.33


FH = 1
FN = 1

Nu = 89.4617535

Now,
