Consider a steam pipe of length 15 ft, inner radius 2 in., outer radius 2.4 in., and thermal conductivity 7.2 Btu/hr-ft-°F. Steam is flowing through the pipe at an average temperature of 250°F, and the average convection heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface is given to be 1.25 Btu/hr-ft2-°F. If the average temperature on the outer surfaces of the pipe is 160°F, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam through the pipe.
ANSWER:______Btu/hr
A 5 m long section of a steam pipe whose outer diameter is 10 cm passes through an open space at 30°C. The average temperature of the outer surface of the pipe is measured to be 150°C, and the average heat transfer coefficient on that surface is determined to be 180 W/m^2.k. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss through convection from the steam pipe and (b) the annual cost of this energy loss if steam is generated in a natural gas furnace, and the price of natural gas is 0.05 Rs/Kwh, consider a 250 working-day year.
