QUESTION 2
2.1 Write the expression for the thermal conduction resistance of a long cylinder of internal radius r1, outside radius r2, thermal conductivity k and length L.
2.2 Superheated steam at 150C flows inside a cylindrical 15 cm schedule 40 steel pipe (inner diameter 15.16 cm , outside diameter 16.56 cm and thermal conductivity 43WmK) covered with a 7.5 cm thick layer of 85% magnesia (thermal conductivity 0.06WmK). The pipe is in a space at 16C and the heat transfer coefficient of the steam and outer space is 170Wm2K and 30Wm2K, respectively.
(a) draw the thermal circuit (thermal resistance) diagram for the insulated pipe
(b) calculate:
(i) the individual resistances and the total resistance, and
(ii) the rate of heat loss per metre.
