Pipe Design Assignment

The document outlines a pipe design assignment to cool ethanol through natural convection. The objectives are to determine the pipe's external diameter, internal diameter, length, material, thermal conductivity, and pressure drop. The conditions specify an inlet temperature of 60°C, outlet of 40°C, mass flowrate of 1 kg/min, and pressure drop less than 1. The method describes calculating the heat load, mean temperature difference, maximum inside diameter, selecting a schedule to determine diameters and thicknesses, calculating lengths using a design equation, pressure drops, and choosing a feasible design based on constraints. The results show dimensions and pressure drops for different materials. Mild steel with a 94.48905m length was chosen as the most cost
