A 2 cm thick steel pipe (thermal conductivity 43 W/[m °C]) with 6 cm inside diameter is being used to convey steam from a boiler to process equipment for a distance of 40 m. The inside pipe surface temperature is 115°C, and the outside pipe surface temperature is 90°C.
If there is 600kW of heat loss, what is the thickness of the pipe?
To understand the heat transfer from a bar in cross flow, you conduct a series of
experiments measuring the average heat transfer coefficient as a function of the free stream
velocity. A schematic of the experiment and the accompanying results are shown below.

a) You expect the important dimensionless parameters to be related by a function of
the form
Nu = CRe Pr
where C, m, and n are constants. The film temperature in both the experiments is
approximately the same. Use the given experimental results to determine the
constant m
b) Calculate h for L = 0.75 m and V = 30 m/s.
