Question: Problem 4 ( 5 points ) : Steam at an unknown temperature flows through a steel tube ( 3 5 W m - K )

Problem 4(5 points): Steam at an unknown temperature flows through a steel tube (35Wm-K) of 150-mm inner
radius and 30-mm wall thickness. Assume the inner surface temperature of the steel tube is the same as the
steam. A 20-mm layer of insulation (0.10Wm-K) is applied to the outside of the tubes, and then wrapped with
a very thin sheet of aluminum having an emissivity of 0.2. Surrounding wall temperature is 27 deg-C (ignore
convection).
Calculate the three radii (r1,r2,r3) in meters, as defined in the figure.
What is steady-state steam temperature required to maintain the outer aluminum sheet at 50 deg-C?
