QUESTION-) 236 °C steam flows in a pipe which features are given below. Inner and outer diameters of pipe are 300 mm and 320 mm. Coefficient of heat transmission is 40 W/mK. It's external ambient is air and it's temperature is 20 °C. Take the temperature of the pipe's external surface 180 °C. It is known that the internal temp convection coefficient is 600 W/m^2K and external heat transfer coefficient is 5,9109 W/m^2K The pipe's length is 500 meter. You need to add the radiation in the calculation. The rate of the radiation emissivity is 0.85. You can take the environmental surface temp directly. a-) Please draw this question on the resistance network. b-) Please calculate the heat loss of pipe. c-) By applying insulation to this pipe, it is desired to reduce the heat loss to 20% of the uninsulated loss (option a). Calculate the insulation thickness accordingly. Take glass wool as insulation material.(Conductivity of glass wool = 0.040 W/mK.)
