Water at An Average of 70
Water at An Average of 70
Steam at
220F is condensing on the outside of the pipe. The convective coefficient for the
water inside the pipe is h = 500 btu/hft 2F and the condensing steam coefficient on
the outside is h = 1500 btu/hft2F.
(a) Calculate the heat loss per unit length of 1 ft of pipe using resistances.
(b) Repeat, using the overall Ui based on the inside area Ai.
(c) Repeat, using Uo.
Ti = 70F
T0 = 220F
L = 1.0 ft
hi = 500 btu/hft2F (water)
ho = 1500 btu/hft2F (steam)
