A 50 m metal pipe, with a thermal conductivity of 60 W/(m. K), is carrying pasteurised orange juice
with a temperature of 75 °C. The pipe has an inside diameter of 50 mm and a wall thickness of 15
mm.
To keep the orange juice at as high a temperature as possible, a 50 mm thick layer of fibreglass
insulation is added to the pipe. This fibreglass has a thermal conductivity of 0.05 W/(m. K).
If the the temperature outside the pipe is 20 °C, how much heat will be lost from the pipe? Assume
that the conditions are steady-state.
What is the resistance to heat flow in the metal pipe?:
What is the resistance to heat flow in the fibreglass insulation?:
What is the overall rate of heat flow from this insulated pipe?
