Problem 1. Steam at 120°C is transported in a long 8" outer diameter pipe. Its outer surface is covered with a 1" thick fiberglass (thermal conductivity, 0.05 W/(mK)) insulation. When the outer temperature is 0°C, the rate of condensation of steam is measured to equal 0.06 g per meter of the pipe length. Estimate the heat transfer coefficient. The heat of vaporization of the steam is 2600 J/g. The resistance to the heat transfer through the pipe wall may be...
A cylindrical hot water tank has thermal insulation between an inner and an outer wall of thin metal sheets, both on the sidewalls and the end walls. The inner diameter and height is 0.95 m and 2.6 m respectively. The insulation thickness is 64 mm and its thermal conductivity is λ = 0.051 [W/mK]. The inner wall consists of 3.0 mm stainless steel with λ = 25 [W/mK], and the outer wall consists of 1.3 mm steel sheet with λ...

Hot CO2 gas at a temperature T-1 = 250°C is flowing through a steel pipe (kı = 70 W/(m.K)) whose inner and outer radiuses are 12 cm and 14 cm, respectively, in a cold environment at Tm2 = -10°C. As shown in the figure below, the steel pipe is insulated with 7.0 cm thick spray-foam insulation (k2 = 0.03 W/(m.K)) and 5.0 cm thick glassfiber insulation (k3 = 0.05 W/(m.K)). Consider the heat transfer coefficients of CO2 gas and the...
Liquid flows in a metal pipe with an inner diameter of D1 = 22 mm and an outer diameter of D2 = 32 mm. The thermal conductivity of the pipe wall is 12 W/m·K. The inner surface of the pipe is coated with thin polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) lining. Along a length of 1 m, the pipe outer surface is exposed to convection heat transfer with hot gas, at T∞ = 100°C and h = 5 W/m2·K, and thermal radiation with...
