- A pipe in a manufacturing plant is transporting superheated vapor at a mass flow rate of 0.3 kg/s. The pipe is 10 m long and has an inner diameter of 5 cm and a wall thickness of 6 mm. The pipe has a thermal conductivity of 17 W/m⋅K, and the inner pipe surface is at a uniform temperature of 120° C. The temperature drop between the inlet and exit of the pipe is 7° C, and the constant pressure specific heat of vapor is 2 190 J/kg⋅°C. If the air temperature in the manufacturing plant is 25° C, determine the heat transfer coefficient as a result of convection between the outer pipe surface and the surrounding air.arrow_forwardThe exhaust gases of an automotive engine leave the combustion chamber and enter a 8-ft-long and 3.5-in-diameter thin-walled steel exhaust pipe at 800°F and 15.5 psia at a rate of 0.05 lbm/s.
