Steel pipe (outer diameter 100 mm) is covered with two layers of insulation. The inner layer, 40 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.07 W / (m K). The outer layer, 20 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W / (m K). Pipes are used to deliver steam with a pressure of 700 kPa. The temperature on the outer insulation surface is 24 ° C. If the pipe is 10 m long, determine the following: (assuming that the conduction heat transfer resistance of the steel pipe and the vapor convection resistance are negligible). a. Heat loss per hour. = Answer kJ / hour. b. Temperature between insulation layers. = Answer ° C.

Question

Steel pipe (outer diameter 100 mm) is covered with two layers of insulation. The inner layer, 40 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.07 W / (m K). The outer layer, 20 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W / (m K). Pipes are used to deliver steam with a pressure of 700 kPa. The temperature on the outer insulation surface is 24 ° C. If the pipe is 10 m long, determine the following: (assuming that the conduction heat transfer resistance of the steel pipe and the vapor convection resistance are negligible).

a. Heat loss per hour. = Answer
kJ / hour.

b. Temperature between insulation layers. = Answer
° C.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

Outer diameter of steel pipe=100mm

Inner layer:

thickness=40 mm

thermal conductivity 0.07W/mk

Outer layer:

20 mm thick and thermal conductivit0.015W/mK

Pipe length = 10 m 

Deliver steam at 700kPa and the outside temperature of insulation = 24oC
