Acylindrical insulation for a steam pipe has an inside radius rt = 6 cm, outside radius r0 = 8 cm, and a thermal conductivity k = 0.5 w/(m • °c). the inside surface of the insulation is at a temperature = 430°c, and the outside surface at t0 = 30°c. determine the heat loss per 1-m length of this insulation.

heat loss per 1-m length of this insulation is 4368.145 W

Explanation:

given data

inside radius r1 = 6 cm

outside radius r2 = 8 cm

thermal conductivity k = 0.5 W/m°C

inside temperature t1 = 430°C

outside temperature t2 = 30°C

to find out

Determine the heat loss per 1-m length of this insulation

solution

we know thermal resistance formula for cylinder that is express as

Rth =   .................1

here r1 is inside radius and r2 is outside radius L is length and k is thermal conductivity

so

heat loss is change in temperature divide thermal resistance

Q =

Q =

Q = 4368.145 W

so heat loss per 1-m length of this insulation is 4368.145 W

how is this a question? in order for me to answer it i have to understand the question
