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

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The time is t = 2.595 \  s

The speed is v = 25.43 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The height of the cliff is  h =  33 \  m

 Generally from kinematic equation we have that

       h  =  ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

before the jump the persons initial velocity is  u =  0 m/s

 So

        33   =  0 * t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>      t = 2.595 \  s

Generally from kinematic equation

     v= u + gt

=>  v= 0 + 9.8 * 2.595

=>  v = 25.43 \ m/s

There are two possibilities for final stage of extremely massive stars. The first is a
makkiz [27]

Answer: Black hole.

Explanation:

As the massive star "compacts" under its own gravity, it triggers a massive supernova, after this point the remains of the star can become a neutron star, which is a very compact star made primarily, as the name says, of neutrons. The other possibility is a black hole, which is a finite region of space wherein it's interior there is a big concentration of mass, which creates a gravitational field strong enough that there is no particle that can escape it.
