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

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: f = 927.55Hz

Explanation: Since the the tube is open-closed, the length of air and the wavelength of sound passing through the tube is given below

L = λ/4 where λ = wavelength.

speed of sound in air = v = 343m/s.

fundamental frequency of open closed tube = 315Hz

λ = 4L.

v = fλ

343 = 315 * 4L

343 = 1260 * L

L = 343/ 1260

L = 0.27m

In the same tube of length L = 0.27m but different medium ( helium), the speed of sound is 1010m/s.

The length of tube and wavelength are related by the formulae below

L = λ/4, λ=4L

λ = 4 * 0.27

λ = 1.087m.

v = fλ

1010 = f * 1.087

f = 1010/1.807

f = 927.55Hz

HELP ME PLEASE I NEED IT NOW
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

the angle of incident is 40°

Explanation:

NQ is the normal to the mirror, therefore

angle NQA =90°

PQA = 50°

incident angle = NQA - PQA

90°- 50° = 40°

note that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incident

Ainat [17]

Answer:

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.

9KE = ½ m(3v)²
