Question: QUESTION 3 Superheated steam at an average temperature 2 0 0 C is transported through a steel pipe ( k = 5 0 W m

QUESTION 3
Superheated steam at an average temperature 200C is transported through a steel pipe (k=50Wm*C). The inner and outer diameter of the pipe are 6 cm and 8 cm , respectively and the total length of the pipe is 20 m . The pipe is insulated with a 4 cm thick layer of gypsum plaster (k=0.5Wm*K. The insulated pipe is placed horizontally inside a warehouse where the average air temperature is 10C. The steam and air heat transfer coefficient are 800 and 200Wm2*K, respectively. Determine:
a) Draw the thermal resistance network for the above system.
b) The daily rate of heat transfers from the superheated steam.
c) The temperature on the outside surface of the gypsum plaster insulation.
