Explanation The rate of heat loss and the temperature drop is plotted by using engineering equation solver (EES) through following the below steps and can be verified by formulating the given input. Open the EES software. Create a new file. Type the following code in the dialogue box. "GIVEN" T_infinity_1 = 320 [C] T_infinity_2 = 5 [C] K_steel =15 [W/m-C] D_i=0.05[m] D_o=0.055 [m] r_1 =D_i/2 r_2=D_o/2 t_ins=3[cm] K_ins=0.038[W/m-C] h_o = 15 [W/m^2-C] h_i = 80 [W/m^2-C] L=1 [m] "ANALYSIS" A_i=pi*D_i*L A_o=pi*(D_o+2*t_ins*convert(cm,m))*L R_conv_i=1/(h_i*A_i) R_pipe =ln (r_2/r_1)/(2*pi*k_steel*L) R_ins = ln (r_3/r_2)/(2*pi*k_ins*L) r_3=r_2+t_ins*convert(cm,m) R_conv_o= 1/(h_o*A_o) R_total =R_conv_i+R_pipe++R_ins+ R_conv_o Q_dot = (T_infinity_1-T_infinity_2)/R_total DELTAT_pipe =Q_dot*R_pipe DELTAT_ins=Q_dot*R_ins Now, the rate of heat loss and the temperature drop in the range of 1 cm to 10 cm is plotted in the table given below: Thickness Tins [cm] Q t o t a l [W]Series 1 ΔT i n s [C]Series 2 1 189...
