In industrial heat exchanger design, the overall heat transfer coefficient U is estimated from the equation 1/U = 1/hi + 1/ho, where hi and ho are the convective heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer side of the tube, respectively. This is valid for (i) tube of (ii) thermal conductivity.
Which one of the following is the CORRECT option to fill in the gaps (i) and (ii)?
A
(i) thick-walled, (ii) high
B
(i) thin-walled, (ii) high
C
(i) thin-walled, (ii) low
D
(i) thick-walled, (ii) low

Correct : b
