Some sections of the Alaska pipeline above ground are supported by vertical steel supports (k = 25 W/mK), which have a length of 1 m and a cross-sectional area of 0.05 m². Under normal operating conditions, the temperature variation along the length of the steel support is given by the expression T = 100 – 150x + 10x², where T and x have units of °C and m, respectively. Temperature variations in the cross-sectional area of the support are negligible. Evaluate the temperature and the heat conduction rate at the pipeline-support junction (x = 0) and at the support-soil interface (x = 1 m). Explain the difference in heat rates.
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.
How long should it take to boil an egg? Model the egg as a sphere with radius of 2.3 cm that has properties similar to water with a density of = 1000 kg/m3 and thermal conductivity of k = 0.606 Watts/(mC) and specific heat of c = 4182 J/(kg C). Suppose that an egg is fully cooked when the temperature at the center reaches 70 C. Initially the egg is taken out of the fridge at 4 C and placed in the boiling water at 100 C. Since the egg shell is very thin assume that it quickly reaches a temperature of 100 C. The protein in the egg effectively immobilizes the water so the heat conduction is purely conduction (no convection). Plot the temperature of the egg over time and use the data tooltip in MATLAB to make your conclusion on the time it takes to cook the egg in minutes.
