P1) A steel pipe (ππ· = 200ππ,πΌπ· = 180ππ) is carrying liquid
ammonia (πππππ = β60Β°πΆ) across a factory ceiling. If the ammonia
produces βππ = 300 π/ π2πΎ and natural convection from RT air on the
outside of the pipe has βππ’π‘ = 40 π/ π2πΎ ,what is the heat rate
through the pipe wall per unit length?
P2) The plant manager decides that the pipe from problem 1
is absorbing too much heat from the factory and decides to apply a
fiberglass insulation to the outside of the pipe to keep the
ammonia cool. If the insulation is round and has an OD of 230mm,
what is the new heat flux through the pipe wall?
P3) You work at the same factory from problem 1 and 2. You
disagree with the amount of insulation the plant manager installed
on the pipe, saying that the insulation is actually below the
critical radius and wonβt help keep the ammonia cold. What is the
minimum outer radius of insulation that will start to insulate the
pipe?
Please answer question 3. information prom questions 1
and 2 may be needed hence they are listed above. Thank
you!
