A steel tube (k =15 W/ m-°C) whose inner and outer diameter 5 cm and 7.6 cm respectively, is covered with an insulative covering material of thickness 2 cm and k = 0.2 W/ m·°C. A hot gas at 300°C with h = 400 W/m².°C flows inside the tube. The outer surface of the insulation is exposed to cooler air at 30°C with h = 60 W/m?.°C. (i) Calculate the heat loss from the tube to the air for 10 m of the tube (ii) Determine the outer surface temperature and interface temperature between the tube and insulator.

Question
A steel tube (k =15 W/ m-°C) whose inner and outer diameter 5 cm and 7.6 cm
respectively, is covered with an insulative covering material of thickness 2 cm
and k = 0.2 W/ m•°C. A hot gas at 300°C with h = 400 W/m².°C flows inside
the tube. The outer surface of the insulation is exposed to cooler air at 30°C with
h= 60 W/m².C.
(i) Calculate the heat loss from the tube to the air for 10 m of the tube
(ii) Determine the outer surface temperature and interface temperature
between the tube and insulator.
