7.Heat transfer occurs from a hot fluid, through the vessel wall, and into a cooling fluid flowing through a jacket. Neglecting the resistance of the vessel wall, derive an expression for the vessel-side heat transfer resistance divided by the total resistance to heat transfer. Neaten up your expression as much as possible,
Two inches of urethane foam will reduce heat loss close to 1000% when applied to a 2-inch diameter uninsulated steel pipe. Assume the pipe wall thickness is 0.25-inches, the pipe interior convective heat loss (hi) is 500 BTU/hr-ft2-oF, and the pipe outside convective heat loss ho 20 BTU/hr-ft2-oF, k steel is 25 BTU/hr-ft-oF, and k insulaton is 0.023 BTU/hr-ft-oF. (hint - calculate heat loss with and without insulation.
VI.2 A coolant is transported in a pipe with external wall temperature of -30 °C and with outer
diameter of 10 cm. The tube is thermally isolated by two layers: 1) an internal layer of
foamed polypropylene with thermal conductivity of 0.08 W.m.K and thickness of 10 cm,
and 2) an external felt layer with thermal conductivity of 0.05 W.m.K and thickness of 5
cm. Temperature of the outer surface is 25 °C. Calculate the heat flow from the
surroundings to the tube with length of 100 m. What is the temperature on the boundary
between polypropylene and felt layers?
Result: The heat flow from the surroundings is approx. 1.77 kW. Temperature between
layers of isolation is 8.8 °C.
