A steel pipe (outside diameter 100 mm) is covered with two layers of insulation. The inside layer, 40 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.07 W/(m K). The outside layer, 20 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/(m K). The pipe is used to convey steam at a pressure of 600 kPa. The outside temperature of insulation is 24°C. If the pipe is 10 m long, determine the following, assuming the resistance to conductive heat transfer in steel pipe and convective resistance on the steam side are negligible: a. The heat loss per hour. b. The interface temperature of insulation.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. So it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thick and heavy old-fashioned coats. Consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 W/m·K) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 W/m·K) between the layers. Assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°C and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°C and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 W/m2·K. What would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? What should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 W/m·K) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a…
