A 6 in. schedule 800 steel pipe (OD =6.62 in) will be used to transport 450 F steam from a boiler house to a new process unit. the pipe will be buried at a depth of 3 ft (to be pipe centerline). the soil at the plant site has an average thermal conductivity of 0.4 btu/h.ft F and the minimum expected ground surface temperature is 20 F. Estimate the rate of heat loss per loot of pipe length for the following cases: a. the pipe is not insulated b. the pipe is covered with a 2 in. thick layer of magnesia insulation

A liquid at 300 F flows through a 3-in. steel pipe (schedule 40) covered with a ½ in. thickness of asbestos insulation. The ambient temperature is 80 F. The inside surface film coefficient is 40 Btu/hr-sq ft-F, and the outside surface film coefficient is 4.0 Btu/hr-sq ft-F. The thermal conductivities of steel and asbestos can be taken as 25 and 0.11 Btu/hr-ft-F respectively. What's the heat loss per foot length of the pipe?

Water flows between two reservoirs through 800 ft of 12-inch diameter welded-steel pipe. The water surface elevation difference between the two reservoirs is 16 ft. Find the flowrate (a) assuming head loss is only due to pipe friction, and (b) Accounting for both friction losses and minor losses due to a flush square-edged pipe entrance, the pipe exit, and a half-open gate valve in the line. Assume the water temperature is 60°F.

6. Water steadily enters an extremely thin 100 m stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 10 cm at a mass flow rate of 31.4 kg/s at 80 °C at 100 kPa. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the ambient air (20 °C) and water pipe is ℎ = 120 ?/(?^2)?. You can ignore the heat loss by radiation and assume the temperature of the water and pipe surface are almost same but the temperature Difference is very small but...

Brumeister Industries needed steel pipe to build furnaces for a customer. Brumeister sent Greene Steel an order for a certain quantity of “A 106 Grade B” steel. Greene confirmed the order and created a contract by sending an invoice to Brumeister, stating that it would send “A 106 Grade B” steel, as ordered. Greene delivered the steel and Brumeister built the furnaces, but they leaked badly and required rebuilding. Tests demonstrated that the steel was not, in fact, “A 106...

Tomato soup is flowing through a double-pipe heat exchanger (3 cm ID, 4.2 cm OD), with saturated steam at 112°C on the outside of the pipe. The convective heat transfer coefficient between the soup to the pipe is 323 W/m2 K and the convective heat transfer coefficient between the steam to the pipe is very large. The thermal conductivity of the soup and pipe are 0.89 W/m K and 15.6 W/m K, respectively. 1. For this system: A. The overall...

Two identical double-pipe heat exchangers are constructed of a 2-in standard schedule 40 pipe placed inside a 3-in standard pipe. The length of the exchangers is 10 ft; 40 gal/min of water initially at 80◦F is to be heated by passing through the inner pipes of the exchangers in a series arrangement, and 30 gal/min of water at 120◦F and 30 gal/min of water at 200◦F are available to accomplish the heating. The two heating streams may be mixed in...
