Question: Hot water flows in a 1 - m - long section of a pipe that is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ( ABS ) thermoplastic.

Hot water flows in a 1-m-long section of a pipe that is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) thermoplastic. The ABS pipe section has an inner diameter of D1=22mm and an outer diameter of D2=25mm. The thermal conductivity of the ABS pipe wall is 0.1Wm*K. The outer pipe surface is exposed to convection heat transfer with air at 20C and h=10Wm2*K. The water flowing inside the pipe has a convection heat transfer coefficient of 50Wm2*K. According to the ASME Code for Process Piping (ASME B31.3-2014, Table B-1), the maximum recommended temperature for ABS pipe is 80C. Determine the maximum temperature of the water flowing in the pipe, such that the ABS pipe is operating at the recommended temperature or lower. What is the temperature at the outer pipe surface when the water is at maximum temperature?
The maximum temperature of the water flowing in the pipe should be
C.
The temperature at the outer pipe surface is C.
