Question:

A gas enters a horizontal 3 in. schedule 40 pipe at a constant rate of $0.5 \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{m}} / \mathrm{s}$, with a temperature of $70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ and a pressure of $1.15 \mathrm{~atm}$. The pipe is wrapped with a $20 \mathrm{~kW}$ heating coil, covered with a thick layer of insulation. At the point where the gas is discharged, the pressure is $1.05 \mathrm{~atm}$. What is the gas temperature at the discharge point, assuming it to be ideal with a MW of 29 and a $c_{p}$ of $0.24 \mathrm{Btu} /\left(\mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{m}}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)$ ?
