A pipe made of stainless steel (k = 45 W / m*K) with an internal diameter of 5 cm and an outer diameter of 5.5 cm is carrying a fluid at a temperature of 80 °C. The heat transfer coefficient for the fluid inside the pipe is 1000 W / m2 *K. The heat transfer coefficient of the air is 5 W / m2 *K and the air at a substantial distance from the pipe is at 25 °C. At...

Q1. Heat conduction & convection (38 pt). Hot water flows in a steel pipe of 0.1 m inside diameter at a flow rate of 0.2 m/h and at an average temperature of 70 °C. The pipe length is 2.5 m and the inside pipe wall temperature is 60 °C Assume that the pipe thickness is small and the steel heat conductivity is high enough so that the thermal resistance of the pipe wall is negligible. Calculate: (a) The...
I. Design of Fins (35 pt). A stripping process produces a hot fluid (80°C) that flows inside copper pipe of 20 cm diameter (the thickness of the pipe wall is negligible). Outside the pipe, there is air flow at ambient temperature (20 °C). In order to recirculate the fluid produced, it is necessary to cool it down. This can be achieved by installing ten circular fins per meter of pipe (see figure below). These fins have a thickness of 0.1...
A hot fluid passes through a thin-walled tube of 10-mm diameter at 18 kg/h at a temperature of 85 C. On the outside, coolant flows across the tube at a velocity of 3 m/s at a temperature of 25 C. Neglecting the thermal resistance of the metal wall, calculate 1. (a) The two heat transfer coefficients, (b) Overall heat transfer coefficient, and (c) Cooling rate (in W/m) achieved in the given configuration Assume hot fluid properties are constant at the...
A pipe contains a heated fluid at 777oC and the outside is at 25oC. What is the heat transfer per meter of steel (k=43 W/(m∙K)) pipe (kW/m) for a pipe whose inside diameter is 13 cm and outside diameter is 17 cm
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...
Due to a particularly cold day, water that was transported to outdoor equipment through an uninsulated, thin-walled metal pipe began to freeze, which caused a cylindrical ice layer, 4 mm thick, to form on the inside of the pipe. If the pipe is 100 mm diameter with an internal convective coefficient of h = 1400 W/m2- K and a mean water temperature, Tm = 277 K, and the temperature of the inner surface of the ice, Tsi, is 273 K,...
Steam at 150 °C flows in a stainless steel pipe which has a thermal conductivity of 16 W m-1 K -1 whose inner and outer diameters are 5 and 6 cm respectively. The pipe is covered with 3 cm think insulation having a thermal conductivity of 0.035 W m-1 K -1 . The combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient at the outside surface of the insulation is 20 W m-2 K -1 and the surroundings are at 10 °C....
4. (25 pts) Water is flowing inside a thin wall, smooth pipe of diameter 0.05 m at a mass flowrate of 0.3 kg/s. The water enters the pipe at a mean temperature Tm,i= 80 °C and exits at Tm,o= 80 °C while the pipe surface temperature is maintained at Ts= 20 °C along its entire length. a. Is the flow turbulent or laminar? b. Calculate the average convection heat transfer coefficient inside the tube. c. Calculate the length of the...
