A long stainless-steel (AISI 316) steam pipe, with an inside diameter of 6.00 cm and an outside diameter of 8.00 cm, is covered with a layer of asbestos insulation (k = 0.150 W/m-K) 1.00 cm thick, which in turn is covered with foam insulation (k = 0.044 W/m-K) 6.00 cm thick. The inside surface temperature of the stainless-steel steam pipe is measured to be 250.0°C, while the outside surface of the foam is exposed to convection, T_inf = 25.0°C, h_inf = 15.0 W/m^2-K.
• Draw and label a sketch of this system. Include dimensions, known temperatures, etc.
• Draw and completely label the corresponding 1-D steady-state conduction resistor diagram.
• Determine the heat transfer rate through the pipe per unit length.
• Calculate the temperature at the asbestos/foam interface.
As seen in the attached figure, a 5-mm-diameter spherical ball (k = 15 W/m·K, Cp=480 J/kg·K) at 50°C is exposed to a medium at 15°C, with a combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m2·K (to be used for option a and b)
a) If the ball is covered by a 1-mm-thick plastic insulation (k = 0.13 W/m·K), determine whether the plastic insulation on the ball will help or hurt heat transfer from the ball.
b) Assume that the ball is initially at uniform temperature of 50 °C. Determine how long it will take for the center of the ball to drop to 20 °C.
Citrus fruits are very susceptible to cold weather, and extended exposure to subfreezing temperatures can destroy them. Consider an 8-cm-diameter orange that is initially at 15°C. A cold front moves in one night, and the ambient temperature suddenly drops to –6°C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2·K. Using the properties of water for the orange and assuming the ambient conditions to remain constant for 20400 seconds before the cold front moves out, determine the surface temperature of orange that night. Solve this problem using analytical one-term approximation method. The properties of the orange are approximated by those of water at the average temperature of about 5°C, k = 0.571 W/m·°C and α = 0.136 × 10–6 m2/s.
The surface temperature of orange that night is
