Why does heat transfer increase initially with radius of insulation and then decrease beyond critical radius? Explain in details.
During a visit to a plastic sheeting plant, it was observed that a 60-m-long section of a 2-in nominal (6.03-cm-outer-diameter) steam pipe was extended from one end of the plant to the other with no insulation on it. The temperature measurements at several locations revealed that the average temperature of the exposed surfaces of the steam pipe was 170°C, while the temperature of the surrounding air was 20°C. The outer surface of the pipe appeared to be oxidized, and its emissivity can be taken to be 0.7. Taking the temperature of the surrounding surfaces to be 20°C also, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam pipe. Steam is generated in a gas furnace that has an efficiency of 78 percent, and the plant pays $1.10 per therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ) of natural gas. The plant operates 24 h a day 365 days a year, and thus 8760 h a year. Determine the annual cost of the heat losses from the steam pipe for this facility.
A 2 m X 1.5 m section of wall of an industrial furnace burning gas is not insulated, and the temperature at the outer surface of this section is measured to be 80oC. The temperature of the furnace room is 30oC, and the combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the outer furnace is 10 w/oC. It is proposed to insulate this section of the furnace wall with glass wool insulation (K=0.038 W/moC) in order to reduce the heat loss by 90 percent. Assuming the outer surface temperature of the section remains at about 80oC, determine i) the thickness of the insulation that is needed and ii) the outer surface temperature of the insulation after installation.
