An overhead 25m long, uninsulated industrial steam pipe of 100mm diameter is routed through a building whose walls and air are a

t 25 *C. Pressurized steam maintains a pipe surface temperature of 150 *C, and the coefficient associated with natural convection is h = 10 W/m^2 * K. The surface emissivity is E = 0.81. What is the rate of heat loss from the steam line?
2. If the steam is gernerated in a gas-fired boiler operating at efficenty of 0.9, and natural gas is priced at C=0.02 per MJ, what is the annual cost of heat loss from line?

Answer:

a) he rate of heat loss from the steam line is 18.413588 kW

b) the annual cost of heat loss from line is $12904.25

Explanation:

a)

first we find the area

A = πdL

d is the diameter (0.1m) and L is the length (25m)

so

A = π ×  0.1 × 25

A = 7.85 m²

Now rate of heat loss through convection

qconv = hA(Ts -Ta)

h is the convective heat transfer coefficient (10 W/m²K), Ts is surface temperature (150°), Ta is temperature of air (25°)

so we substitute

qconv = 10 W/m²K × 7.85 m² × ( 150° - 25°)

qconv = 9817.477 J/s

Now heat lost through radiation

qrad = ∈Aα ( Ts⁴ - Ta⁴)

∈ is the emissivity (0.8), α is the boltzmann constant ( 5.67×10⁻⁸m⁻²K⁻⁴ ),

first we shall covert our temperatures from Celsius to kelvin scale

Ts is surface temperature (150 + 273K ), Ta is temperature of air (25 + 273K)

so we substitute

qrad = 0.8 × 7.854 × 5.67×10⁻⁸ × ( (423)⁴ - (298)⁴ )

qrad = 3.5625×10⁻⁷ × 2.413×10¹⁰

qrad = 8596.112 J/s

Now to get the total rate of heat loss through convection and radiation, we say

q = qconv + qrad

q = 9817.477 + 8596.112

q = 18413.588 J/s ≈ 18.413588 kW

Therefore the rate of heat loss from the steam line is 18.413588 kW

b)

annual cost of heat lost rate

A = C × q/n × ( 3600 × 24 × 365 )

C is the cost of heat per MJ( $0.02/10⁶) n is broiler efficiency ( 0.9)

so we substitute

A = 0.02/10⁶  × 18413.588/0.9 × ( 3600 × 24 × 365 )

A = $12904.25

Therefore the annual cost of heat loss from line is $12904.25

Sandwich materials typically use a high density core with non-structural cover plates. a)True b)- False
Lorico [155]

Answer: False

Explanation: Sandwich materials are usually in composite material form which has a fabrication of two thin layers which are stiff in nature and have  light weighing and thick core .The construction is based on the ratio that is of stiffness to the weight .Therefore, the density of the material in the core is not high and are only connected with the skin layer through adhesive .So the given statement is false that sandwich materials typically use a high density core with non- structural cover plates.
