A stainless steel (AISI 304) tube used to transport a chilled pharmaceutical has an inner diameter of 36 mm and a wall thickness

Bingel [31]

Answer:

a) heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{1.35} = 12.6W/m$

b) heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{2.20} = 7.7W/m$

Explanation:

Assumptions:

Constant properties
Steady state conditions
Negligible effect of radiation
Negligible constant resistance between tube and insulation
one dimensional radial conduction

a) What is the heat gain per unit tube length

$R_{conv,i}'=\frac{1}{2\pi r_1h_i}$

$d_1=36mm$ Therefore $r_1=\frac{d_1}{2} =36/2=18mm=18*10^{-3}$

$r_2=2mm=2*10^{-3}m$

$k_{st}=14.2W/m.k$

$h_o=6W/m^2$

$h_i=400W/m^2$

$R_{conv,i}'=\frac{1}{2\pi * 1.8*10^{-3}*400}= 0.221m.K/W$

$R_{cond,st}'=\frac{ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi k_{st}} =\frac{ln(20/18)}{2\pi *14.2} =1.18*10^{-3}m.K/W$

$R_{conv,o}'=\frac{1}{2\pi r_2h_0}=\frac{1}{2\pi *2*10^{-3}*6}=1.33m.K/W$

$R_{tot}'=R_{conv,i}'+R_{cond,st}'+R_{conv,o}'=0.221+(1.18*10^{-3})+1.33=1.35m.K/W$

heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{1.35} = 12.6W/m$

b) What is the heat gain per unit length if a 10-mm-thick layer of calcium silicate insulation (k_ins = 0.050 W/m.K) is applied to the tube

$r_3=r_1+r_2+10mm=30mm=0.03m$

$R_{conv,i}'$ and $R_{cond,st}'$ are the same, but $R_{conv,o}'$ changes.

Therefore:

$R_{conv,o}'=\frac{1}{2\pi r_3h_0} = \frac{1}{2\pi *0.03*6}=0.88m.K/W$

$R_{conv,ins}'=\frac{ln(r_3/r_)}{2\pi k_{ins}} =\frac{ln(30/20)}{2\pi *0.05} =1.29m.K/W$

The total resistance $R_{tot}'=R_{conv,i}'+R_{cond,st}'+R_{conv,ins}'+R_{conv,o}'=0.221+(1.18*10^{-3})+1.29+0.88=2.20m.K/W$

heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{2.20} = 7.7W/m$

Any programmer who writes a Diophantine equation solver must occasionally encounter an infinite loop.

Sergio [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

An Infinite loop occurs in a computer programming when a sequence of instructions run endlessly without stopping until there is an external intervention, this intervention could be pull or plug. It is also known as endless loop. It occurs due to using of variables that are not properly updated or when there is an error in looping condition.
