The outer surface of the pipe is wrapped with a thin electric heater that consumes 300 W per m length of the pipe.

Heat is transferred from the inner surface of the pipe to the water by convection with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 55 W/m2 . °C. Assuming constant thermal conductivity and one-dimensional heat transfer, express the mathematical formulation (the differential equation and the boundary conditions) of the heat conduction in the pipe during steady operation and obtain temperature distribution in pipe.arrow_forwardA wall of length "L" m and height "H" m is made from a thick bricklayer of 20 cm with thermal conductivity of 0.59 W/mK is subjected to heat transfer due to the outside temperature as 38 oC and inside temperature 24 oC.
