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, = 45 W/m-K) has an inside diameter of D = 150 mm and wall thickness t,= 20 mm while the outer steel pipe has an inside diameter of D,2 = 250 mm and wall thickness f, = 1,. Determine the maximum allowable crude oil temperature to ensure the polyurethane foam insulation (k, = 0.0425 W/m K) between the two pipes does not exceed its maximum service temperature of Tuax = 70°C. The ocean water is at 7o = -5°C and provides an external convection heat transfer coefficient of , = 500 Wim-K. The comvection coefficient associated with the flowing crude oil is h, = 450 W/m?-K. (2) It is proposed to enhance the performance of the pipe-in-pipe device by replacing a thin (t.- 10 mm) section of polyurethane located at the outside of the inner pipe with an aerogel insulation material (k, = 0.012 Wim-K). Determine the maximum allowable crude oil temperature to ensure maximum polyurethane temperatures are below Tman = 70°C. Physical Properties Mathematical Functions Determine the maximum crude oil temperature if no aerogel is used, in °C.

Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements
Measurement is a term that refers to analyzing a manufactured component regarding the degree of accuracy for dimensions, tolerances, geometric profile, roundness, flatness, smoothness, etc. Measurement always involves comparing the manufactured component or the prototype with a standard specimen whose dimensions and other parameters are assumed to be perfect and do not undergo changes with respect to time.Precisely in mechanical engineering the branch that deals with the application of scientific principles for measurements is known as metrology. The domain of metrology in general deals with various measurements like mechanical, chemical, thermodynamic, physical, and biological measurements. In mechanical engineering, the measurements are limited to mechanical specific such as length, mass, surface profile, flatness, roundness, viscosity, heat transfer, etc.
Basic principles of engineering metrology
Metrology is described as the science of measurement, precision, and accuracy. In other words, it is a method of measurement based on units and predefined standards.
