- (a) What is the heat loss per unit length of the pipe?(b) The pipe material is switched to PTFE (k = 0.38 W/(m⋅K)). To maintain the same heat loss as theprevious question, if all other parameters are to remain the same as before, what is the required thicknessof the pipe wall in centimeters?arrow_forwardInsulating material is used to reduce heat loss from the heating furnace walls to the room. The surface temperature of the insulating material is 100 ° C and the other surfaces 25 ° C. Allowable heat loss up to 160 W / m2 from the wall. If the thermal conductivity of the insulation material is 0.05 W / (m ° C), calculate the required thickness of insulation. insulation thickness = Answer cmarrow_forwardThe wall of a cold storage consists of three layers-an outer layer of ordinary bricks, 25 cm thick, a middle layer of cork, 10 cm thick, and an inner layer of cement, 6 cm thick. The thermal conductivities of the materials are-brick: 0.7, cork: 0.043, and cement: 0.72 W/m °C. The temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 30°C, and that of the inner is.-15°C. Calculate (a) the steady state rate of heat gain per unit area of the wall, (b) the temperatures at the interfaces of the composite wall, and (c) the percentages of the total heat transfer resistance offered by the individual layers. What additional thickness of cork should be provided to make the rate of heat transfer 30% less than the present value?arrow_forward
