Consider a part
of
a district-heating distribution system. The supply and re-
turn pipes both have diameters O.2 m (without insulation) and 0.04-m insula-
tion layers. The distance between the pipes are 0.6 m, and the distance to the
ground surface is 0.9 m. Calculate the lost power over 100 m pipe length if
the supply temperature is 75 °C, the return temperature is 45 °C, the ambient
temperature is –5°C, the ground heat conductivity is 1.5 W/(m-K) and the
insulation heat conductivity is 0.03 W/(m-K).
Correct = 6330 W
