A thin-walled metal pipe of diameter 7.50 cm and length 6.20 m is used to transport 20.0 grams of st eam at 100 O C every second. The pipe is surrounded by insulation with k = 0.0400 W/m-K. How thick must the insulation be if only 0.500% of the steam is allowe d to condense inside the pipe when the external temperature (i.e. outside the pipe) is 20.0 O C?

answer is 2.76 cm

A 2.5 cm inside diameter pipe is being used to convey a liquid food at 80ºC. The inside convective heat transfer coefficient is 10W/(m2ºC). The pipe (0.5 cm thick) is made of steel (thermal conductivity = 43W/mºC). The outside ambient temperature is 20ºC. The outside convective heat-transfer coefficient is 100 /(m2ºC). Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient and the heat loss from 1 m length of the pipe.

A steel hot-water tank of cylindrical shape has an inside diameter of 0.600 m and inside height of 1.40 m. The tank is enclosed by a 5.00 cm thick insulating layer of glass wool whose thermal conductivity is 0.0350 W / (m·K). The insulation is covered by a thin sheet metal skin. The steel tank and the sheet metal skin have thermal conductivities that are much greater than that of the glass wool. How much electrical power (W) must be...
