A solar collector design consists of an inner tube enclosed concentrically in an outer tube that is transparent to solar radiation. The tubes are thin walled with inner and outer diameters of 0.08 and 0.10 m, respectively. The annular space between the tubes is completely enclosed and filled with air at atmospheric pressure. Under operating conditions for which the inner and outer tube surface temperatures are 80 and 30°C, respectively, what is the rate of convective heat loss per meter of tube length across the air space?

Solar Collector Field: This design uses a series of Fresnel lenses and concave mirrors to concentrate solar radiation onto a boiler mounted on a tower. The boiler then produces steam, which then is used to generate electricity. This system is expected to yield a power of 3.3 MW and will cost $91 million initially with first-year operating costs of $3 million, growing 350,000 annually. It will produce electricity worth $9.7 million the first year; this revenue stream is expected to...
