A steel pipe (k = 43 W/m K) carries a heat‐transfer fluid and is covered with a 2‐cm layer of calcium silicate insulation (k = 0.029 W/m K) to reduce the heat loss. The inside and outside pipe diameters are 5.25 cm and 6.03cm, respectively. If the inner pipe surface is at 150°C and the exterior surface of the insulation is at 25°C, calculate: (a) The rate of heat loss per unit length of pipe (b) The temperature of the outer piper surfac

The rate of heat transfer, Q [energy/time = power] through a pipe wall between a fluid and the surroundings depends on fluid properties: density (ρ), viscosity (μ), specific heat (cp [energy/temperature/mass]); and also on pipe and flow properties: the length (l), diameter (D), and thermal conductivity (λ [power/length/temperature]) of the pipe, fluid mean velocity (V), and the temperature difference (ΔT) between the pipe wall and the surroundings. Use dimensional analysis to express this system in terms of dimensionless numbers. The...
