Consider a steel pipeline (AISI 1010) that is 1 m in diameter and has a wall thickness of 40 mm. The pipe is heavily insulated on the outside, and, before the initiation of flow, the walls of the pipe are at a uniform temperature of -20 •C. With the initiation of flow, hot oil at 60 •C is pumped through the pipe, creating a convective condition corresponding to h= 500 W/m² K at the inner surface of the pipe. a. What are the appropriate Biot and Fourier numbers 8 min after the initiation of flow? b. At t = 8 min, what is the temperature of the exterior pipe surface covered by the insulation? c. What is the heat flux q (W/m²) to the pipe from the oil at t = 8 min? d. How much energy per meter of pipe length has been transferred from the oil to the pipe at t= 8 min?
