Tutorial-II: Heat Transfer (CH250)


Date : 08-01-2024
1) A steel pipe with an outside diameter of 115 mm and a wall thickness of 5
mm is covered with 50 mm thickness of 85% magnesia. The surface
temperature on the inside of the pipe is 423 K (150 oC) and that on the
outside of insulation is 305 K (32 oC).
Calculate :
(i) The heat flow per metre of length.
(ii) The temperature at the outer surface of the steel pipe and
(iii) The conductance of the pipe and insulation based on its inside surface
area.
k for steel = 43.03 W/(m·K)
k for insulation = 0.07 W/(m·K)

2) A steam pipe 115 mm outside diameter, is covered with two layers of


different materials. The first layer is 50 mm thick and has a thermal
conductivity of 0.062 W/(m·K). The second layer is 30 mm thick and has a
thermal conductivity of 0.872 W/(m·K). Outside surface temperature of
the steam pipe is 508 K and that of the outer surface of the lagging is 311
K. Calculate the heat loss per metre length of the pipe and the temperature
between the two layers of insulation. (HW)

3) A steel pipe 25 mm internal diameter and 33 mm outer diameter, insulated


with rockwool carries steam at 451 K. If the surrounding air temperature
is 294 K, calculate the rate of heat loss from one meter length of pipe. The
thickness of insulation is 38 mm. The conductivities of steel and rockwool
are 44.97 W/(m.K) and 0.175 W/(m.K) respectively. The inside and outside
heat transfer coefficients are 5678 W/(m2.K) and 11.36 W/(m2.K)
respectively. Constant resistance between the pipe and insulation may be
neglected.
