Transcribed Image Text:To maximize production and minimize pumping costs, crude oil is heated to reduce its viscosity during transportation
from a production field.
(1) Consider a pipe-in-pipe configuration consisting of concentric steel tubes with an intervening insulating material. The
inner tube is used to transport warm crude oil through cold ocean water. The inner steel pipe (k,
inside diameter of Di 1
50 W/m-K) has an
= 150 mm and wall thickness t; = 20 mm while the outer steel pipe has an inside diameter of
= 250 mm and wall thickness to = t¡. Determine the maximum allowable crude oil temperature to ensure the
