Heat Transfer - Engineering
Q1: A 10 cm dia steam pipe, carrying steam at 180°C, is covered with an insulation (conductivity = 0.6 W/m.°C). It losses heat to the surroundings at 30°C. Assume a heat transfer co-efficient of 0.8 W/m2.°C for heat transfer from surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. If the insulation thickness is 2 cms, the rate of heat loss from this insulated pipe will beA greater than that for uninsulated steam pipe.
B less than that of the uninsulated steam pipe.
C equal to that of the uninsulated steam pipe.
D less than the steam pipe with 5 cms insulation.
ANS:B - less than that of the uninsulated steam pipe. To calculate the rate of heat loss from the insulated pipe, we can use the formula for heat transfer through a cylindrical wall with insulation: surroundings)Q=hinsAins1+2πkinslnrpiperins2πL×(Tpipe−Tsurroundings) Where:
