Diamond Olsen · Answer 1

(d) the log mean temperature difference

Explanation:

According to newton's law of cooling, log mean temperature difference must be used to determine the convective heat transfer in the tube when the surface of the tube is maintained at constant temperature. Log mean temperature represent the exact average temperature difference between the fluid and the surface. hence the answer is D the log mean temperature difference
