Question:

An 20-cm-diameter horizontal steam pipe carries 1.66 kg/min of dry, pressurized, saturated steam at 120°C. If the ambient air temperature is 20°C, determine the rate of condensate flow at the end of 3 m of pipe. Use an emissivity of 0.85 for the pipe surface. If heat losses are to be kept below 1% of the rate of energy transport by the steam, what thickness of fiberglass insulation is required? The rate of energy transport by the steam is the heat of condensation of the steam flow. The heat of vaporization of the steam is 2210 kJ/kg.
