You are called to assist a ski resort operator who has snow making equipment. A pipe 10cm in diameter is to deliver 5.2 kg/s of water to the snow making nozzles. The pipe is completely covered with snow and it is assumed that the inside surface temperature of the pipe is at a uniform temperature of -3C. The water comes from a pond at a temperature of 13C. Estimate the maximum length of the pipe possible before the temperature of the water will drop to 0C. Properties of Water: Cp = 4217 J/kgK p = 1000 kg/m 1652 x 10 Ns/m k = .574 W/mK Pr = 12.22 You are called to assist a ski resort operator who has snow making equipment.
