A stainless steel (AISI 316) tube used to transport a chilled pharmaceutical has an inner diameter of 30 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm. The pharmaceutical and ambient air are at temperatures of 6oC and 23oC, respectively, while the corresponding inner and outer convection coefficients are 400 W/m2 K and 6 W/m2 K, respectively.
(a) What is the heat gain per unit tube length?
(b) What is the heat gain per unit length if a 10-mm thick layer of calcium silicate insulation (k = 0.050 W/m. K) is applied to the tube?

Liquid bismuth flows at a rate of 4.5 kg/s through a 5.0-cm-diameter stainless-steel tube. The bismuth enters at 415oC and is heated to 440oC as it passes through the tube. If a constant heat flux is maintained along the tube and the tube wall is at a temperature 20oC higher than the bismuth bulk temperature, calculate the length of tube required to effect the heat transfer. For liquid bismuth: ? = 1.34 ?10-3 kg/m· s Cp = 0.149 kJ/kg.oC k...

Water flows at 20 cm^3/sec through a long straight tube that has an inner diameter of 1 cm. As the water flows, a toxin leaches from the tube into the water. At the inner surface of the tube, the toxin attains its saturation concentration, Csat = 2 mM. Fortunately, upon entering the water the toxin also irreversibly degrades into a non-toxic compound; this degradation follows first-order kinetics. Toxin Diffusivity D = 10^-5 cm^2/sec Toxin mass transfer coefficient k = 1.38...
