Question

Statement 1: Sieder-Tate and Dittus-boelter equations imply only to laminar flow conditions.

Statement 2: Under laminar conditions, the same equation applies both to Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids.

(a) True, False

(b) True, True

(c) False, False

(d) False, True

This question was addressed to me in examination.

I'd like to ask this question from Unit Operations in chapter Heat Transfer by Conduction, Convection and Radiation of Food Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) False, False

For explanation I would say: Sieder-Tate and dittus-boelter equations imply only to turbulent flow conditions. Under laminar conditions, different equations apply both to Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
