Hot water at an average temperature of 88°C and an average velocity of 0.4 m/s is flowing through a 5-m section of a thin-walled
hot-water pipe that has an outer diameter of 2.5 cm. The pipe passes through the center of a 14-cm-thick wall filled with fiberglass insulation (k = 0.035 W/m·K). The surfaces of the wall are at 18°C.a. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the pipe to the air in the rooms. b. Determine the temperature drop of the hot water as it flows through the 5-m-long section of the wall where the steady rate of heat transfer from the pipe is 39.153 W. For water, use density (rho) 1000 kg/m^3 and specific capacity of heat (cp) =4180 J/kg.°C.
