Calculations involving re, U & Rth 1. The inner surface of a nickel steel cylinder (k = 19 w/m K) of ID = 1 cm and OD = 7 cm is maintained at a constant temperature of 110oC, while the outer surface is held at 50oC. Calculate the heat lost per meter length of the pipe. Calculate the temperature at r = 1, 2, and 3 cm for the cylinder of question no. 1. In a steam radiator, steam at 110oC is passed through a tungsten-steel (k = 54 w/m K) tube of ID = 2 cm and OD = 3 cm. The surrounding air is at 5oC. The convection heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the tube are 5000 W/m2K and 10 W/m2K, respectively. Calculate the rate of heat transfer per meter length of the tube and the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the tube in steady-state. Steam at 120oC is flowing through a wrought-iron (k = 59 W/m K) tube of ID = 5 cm and OD = 7 cm which is covered with 1 cm thick asbestos (k= 0.1105 W/m K) insulation. If the convection heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the tube are 200 W/m 2K and 10 W/m2K, respectively, and the atmospheric air at 25oC, estimate that rate of heat loses from steam per meter length of the tube. Assume that the steam in the tube is held at a constant temperature. An electric wire of 10 m length and 1 mm diameter dissipates 200 W in air at 25oC. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the wire surface and air is 15 W/m2K. (a) Determine the temperature of the wire (b) If the wire is insulated with mica (k = 0.5815 w/m K) such that its outer diameter increases to 3 mm, determine the temperature of the wire. Calculate the critical radius of insulation for the electrical wire of question 5. Also determine the temperature of the wire if it is insulated to the critical thickness of insulation.
