Q3
A Wire 12 mm in diameter is to be insulated to maximize its current carrying capacity.
For certain reasons the outside diameter of insulation should be 36 mm, the heat
transfer coefficient for the outer surface to be 12 w/m C. what is the percentage would
the insulation increase the energy carrying capacity of the wire
Q4|
A circumferential copper fins (1.5 cm long and 3mm thick) of rectangular profile are
mounted on a 2.5 m tube having a diameter of 3 cm. The fins are exposed to
convection environment at 22°C, with heat transfer coefficient 58 W/m2.°C.
Determine the increase in heat transfer from the tube as a result of adding fins if the
number of fins are 250. Thermal conductivity 386 W/m-°C
T°= 100 °C
