Part of a laboratory experiment consists of a long ¾-in.-OD copper tube embedded in the center of a square insulator (asbestos with k = 0.087Btu/h·ft-°F) with 3-in. sides. The purpose of the pipe is to deliver hot water at 30 psia to the system, but the system requires that the water must not be boiling. The energy loss per foot of pipe is measured to be 35 Btu/h- ft, and the outside surface temperature of the asbestos is 150°F. Assuming the water and the tube are at the same temperature, does the water boil?

Question
Part of a laboratory experiment consists of a long 4-in.-OD copper tube embedded in the center of a square
insulator (asbestos with k= 0.087Btu/h-ft-°F) with 3-in. sides. The purpose of the pipe is to deliver hot water at
30 psia to the system, but the system requires that the water must not be boiling. The energy loss per foot of
pipe is measured to be 35 Btu/h ft, and the outside surface temperature of the asbestos is 150°F. Assuming the
water and the tube are at the same temperature, does the water boil?
