Oil at 150 C flows slowly through a long, thin-walled pipe of 30-mm inner diameter. The pipe is suspended in a room for which the air temperature is 20 C and the convection coefficient at the outer tube surface is 11 W/m2 K. Estimate the heat loss per unit length of tube.

1.01 W/m

Explanation:

diameter of the pipe d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

radius of the pipe r = d/2 = 0.015 m

external air temperature Ta = 20 °C

temperature of pipe wall Tw = 150 °C

convection coefficient at outer tube surface h = 11 W/m^2-K

From the above, we assumed that the pipe wall and the oil are in thermal equilibrium.

area of the pipe per unit length A = = m^2/m

convectional heat loss Q = Ah(Tw - Ta)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x (150 - 20)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x 130 = 1.01 W/m

volts times amps 6 x 0.5 3w

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
