Q.2 A steel pipe (I.D. = 50 mm, O.D. = 55 mm) is insulated with magnesia insulation [k = 0.02 W/(m °C)]. The temperature at the interface between the pipe and the insulation is 280°C. The allowable heat loss by conduction from the insulated pipe is 550 W/m length of pipe. For safety, the temperature of the outside surface of the insulation must not exceed 50°C. Determine: (i) The minimum thickness of insulation required, (ii) The temperature of the inside surface of the pipe assuming its thermal conductivity k = 45 W/(m °C). Draw the thermal circuit of the %3D insulated pipe giving the values of all temperatures and thermal resistances.
