An insulated pipe carries steam at 300°C. The pipe is made of stainless steel (with k = 15 W/mK), has an inner diameter is 4 cm,

and has an outer diameter is 4.5 cm. Fiberglass insulation (with k= 0.038 W/mK and ε = 0.9) of 2.5 cm thickness covers the pipe. Consider the pipe to be inside a large room with air and wall temperatures of 20°C. If the convective heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe is 75 W/m² and the convective heat transfer coefficient outside the pipe is 10 W/m², find the rate of heat loss per-unit-length (W/m) from the pipe and the temperature of the outer surface of the insulation. Note 1: You may find helpful example problems in Incropera and DeWitt. Note 2: You will need to guess a temperature for the outside of the pipe to compute an estimated hrad. After solving for the temperature of the outside using your thermal circuit, evaluate how close your original estimate was. Then iterate (repeat the math) with the new surface temperature. Consider coding your computations in R or Python to make this go faster.

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(i) The rate of heat loss per-unit-length (W/m) from the pipe is 131.62 W

(ii) The temperature of the outer surface of the insulation is 49.89 °C

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the heat transferred is given by

Q = \frac{2\pi L(t_{hf} - t_{cf}) }{\frac{1}{h_{hf}r_1}+\frac{ln(r_2/r_1)}{k_A} + \frac{ln(r_3/r_2)}{k_B} +\frac{1}{h_{cf}r_3}}

Where

t_{hf} = Temperature at the inside of the pipe = 300 °C

t_{f} = Temperature at the outside of the pipe = 20 °C

r₁ =internal  radius of pipe = 4.0 cm

r₂ = Outer radius of pipe = 4.5 cm

r₃ = Outer radius of the insulation = r₂ + 2.5 = 7.0 cm

k_A = 15 W/m·K

k_B = 0.038 W/m·K

h_{hf} = 75 W/m²·K

h_{cf} = 10 W/m²·K

Plugging in the values in the above equation where for a unit length L = 1 m, we have

Q = 131.32 W

From which we have, for the film of air at the pipe outer boundary layer

Q = \frac{t_A-t_B}{R_T} Where R_T for the air film on the pipe outer surface is given by

R_T= \frac{1}{\alpha A}

where A =area of the outside of the pipe

= \frac{1}{10*2\pi*0.07*1 } = 0.227 K/W

Therefore

131.32 W = \frac{t_A-20}{0.227} which gives

t_A = 49.89 °C

Heat transferred by radiation = q' = ε×σ×(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)

Where ε = 0.9, σ, = 5.67×10⁻⁸W/m²·(K⁴)

T₁ = Surface temperature of the pipe = 49.89 °C and

T₂ = Temperature of the surrounding = 20.00 °C

Plugging in the values gives, q' = 0.307 W per m²

Total heat lost per unit length = 131.32 + 0.307 =131.62 W

Withe light becomes a spectrum of seven colored lights after passing through a prism
Fiesta28 [93]

True. The 7 colors, also called a rainbow, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This rainbow is formed because the prism bends the white light and spreads it out into the colors it was made of. If there is more you were looking for, comment here.

ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Well I'm going to go with A.

Explanation:

As per the question the mass of the boy is 40 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the weight of the boy  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 40 kg.

                             Therefore, w = 40 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =392 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 392 N

392 is not an option but I'm guessing you can round down 2 .to option A. 390...?

How many orders of magnitude (powers of ten) is the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean?
kupik [55]

Answer:

The distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.

Explanation:

We have the average distance across the Atlantic ocean, d_i=3700\ mi

the average distance to the moon, d_m=238,900\ mi

The factor by which the distance to moon is greater than the width of Atlantic ocean:

f=\frac{d_m}{d_i}

f=\frac{238,900}{3700}

f=64.57

i.e.

the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.
