Exercises Problem 3 Lesson 3

The document provides a problem involving calculating heat transfer through a steel pipe with insulation. It gives properties of the steel pipe and insulation material. It provides the temperatures at different surfaces. It then shows the calculation to determine the percentage reduction in heat transfer when the pipe is insulated.

Conduction Through Walls in Series Exercises Problem

Name: DEVILLENA, Marianne Angel


Student No. 20190150631
Problem:
The temperature of the outside surface of a steel pipe (k=25.9 BTU-ft/HR.sq.ft.deg F) with
ID=6.87 in and OD=8.625 in is 595 deg F and the temperature of the inside surface is
600 deg F. What will be the % savings in heat per foot of the pipe if it insulated with 2.5
in 85% magnesia (k=0.046 BTU-ft/HR.sq.ft.deg F) and the temperature of the outer
surface of the insulation is reduced to 200 deg F?
