Disregard any heat transfer from the transistor base. Your solution must state governing equations and associated assumptions, illustration and step by step execution of the overall solution.

A 300-ft-long section of a steam pipe whose outer diameter is 4 in passes through an open space at 50°F. The average temperature of the outer surface of the pipe is measured to be 280°F, and the average heat transfer coefficient on that surface is determined to be 6 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss from the steam pipe and (b) the annual cost of this energy loss if steam is generated in a natural gas furnace having an efficiency of 86 percent, and the price of natural gas is $1.10/therm (1 therm = 100,000 Btu).
An ice chest whose outer dimensions are 30 cm*40 cm*40 cm is made of 3 cm thick Styrofoam (k = 0.033 W/m°C). Initially, the chest is filled with 30 kg of ice at 0 °C, and the inner surface temperature of the ice chest can be taken to be 0 °C at all times. The heat of fusion of water at 0 °C is 333.7 kJ/kg, and the surrounding ambient air is at 20 °C. Disregarding any heat transfer from the 40 cm*40 cm base of the ice chest, determine how long it will take for the ice in the chest to melt completely if the ice chest is subjected to (a) calm air and (b) winds at 30 km/h (assume the heat transfer coefficient on the front, back and top surfaces to be the same as that on the side surfaces). Use the thermophysical properties of air as follows: k = 25.5×10-3 W/mK, ν = 15×10-6 m2/s, α = 21.1×10-6 m2/s, and β = 3.43×10-3 K-1.
Liquid flows in a metal pipe with an inner diameter of D1 = 20 mm and an outer diameter of D2 = 30 mm. The thermal conductivity of the pipe wall is 10 W/m⋅K. The inner surface of the pipe is coated with a thin polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) lining. Along a length of 95 cm, the pipe outer surface is exposed to convection heat transfer with hot gas, at T∞ = 95° C and h = 6 W/m2 ⋅K, and thermal radiation with a surrounding at Tsurr = 95° C.
