We consider a cylindrical pipe described in the figure above. This pipe is made of a material having a thermal conductivity k. Inner and outer radiuses are ri and ro=ri+e1 respectively, where e1 is the wall thickness of the pipe. The ambient external temperature is To=20C.hi and h0 are the two coefficients of convective transfer inside and outside the pipe.
Let T1 and T2 be the temperatures of respectively the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe wall. Considering steady-state and only radial conduction, give the analytical equation governing the temperature profile across the pipe wall, as a function of T1,T2,ri and ro.
Considering a motionless fluid in the pipe which has a constant temperature Tf, calculate Rth'(in K.m.W-1) the overall thermal resistance between the fluid and the ambient air per pipe's unit of length.
Given Tf=150c, calculate Ql'(in Wm) the heat rate lost through the pipe wall per unit of length. Fluid
The fluid is now moving with a mass flow rate mf and its temperature is not constant throughout the length of the pipe anymore. Write the steady-state energy balance of a control volume of fluid of length dx. tempenture change through the fluid hove inthe
Give the expression of the fluid temperature T(x)-Tin at any position x in the pipe.
Calculate the fluid temperature Tout at the outlet of the pipe given a fluid mass flow rate mf=3kgs, a thermal capacity of the fluid cf=4.2kJ*kg-1*K-1 and an inlet temperature Tin=150C.
