Question: Hot water flows inside a PVC pipe ( conductivity 0 . 1 5 W m 1 K 1 ) of inner diameter 2 5 mm

Hot water flows inside a PVC pipe (conductivity 0.15 W m 1 K1) of inner diameter 25 mm
and wall thickness 2.5 mm. The inside surface temperature is 60C and the outside surface
temperature is 55C. What is the heat transfer rate through the pipe wall, per unit length of
pipe? What error would result from treating the pipe as a plane wall (neglecting its
curvature)
