An electric motor is to be connected by a horizontal steel shaft (k - 42.56 W/m.K), 25 mm in diameter to an impeller of a pump, circulating liquid metal at a temperature of 540°C. If the temperature of electric motor is limited to a maximum value of 52°C with the ambient air at 27°C and heat transfer coefficient of 40.7 W/m?K, what length of shaft should be specified between the motor and pump ?
