Question: Problem # 2 ( 4 0 pts ) Steam is flowing through a stainless steel AISI 3 0 4 pipe with thermal conductivity of 1
Problem # pts
Steam is flowing through a stainless steel AISI pipe with thermal conductivity of The steam temperature is and the convective heat transfer coefficient between the steam and the inner surface of the pipe is The inner radius of the steel pipe is the outer radius of the pipe is and the length of the pipe is An insulation made of glass fiber, coated, duct liner is applied on the outer surface of the pipe to reduce the heat loss. The outside radius of insulation is The temperature of the air surrounding the pipe is and the convective heat transfer coefficient is
i Draw a schematic of the problem.
ii What is the total heat loss from the steam to the surrounding air?
iii What is the temperature at the interface between the steel pipe and the insulation?
iv Will the given thickness of insulation reduce the heat loss?
