The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thick glass wool insulation with k = 0.05 W/m. °C. Heat is lost to surroundings at T2 = 5 °C by natural convection and radiation, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of h₂ = 18 W/m². °C. Taking the heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe to be h₁ = 60 W/m². °C, determine the temperature drops across the pipe and the insulation. The determination is based on a unit length of the pipe (L = 1 m). Assumptions 1. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is no indication of any change with time. 2. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about the centreline and no variation in the axial direction. 3. Thermal conductivities are constant. 4.

- QUESTION 2 Thermocouples are devices used to measure temperature of a given sample or the surrounding medium. These devices feature a "bead", which has a spherical shape, and produces voltage upon change in temperature. For an engineering application at a pharmaceutical company, thermocouple devices are being tested for their responsiveness, i.e. how fast it can detect temperature changes in the environment (surrounding air). The engineers at this company have specified design constraints for an ideal thermocouple: it must detect temperature changes no later than 1.5 minute, and the reported temperature value must be reasonably correct: at most %3 difference between measured and actual temperature values is allowed. Four thermocouples from different vendors are being tested. Relevant properties of these devices are listed below: Thermal conductivity Density 36 W/m*K 36 W/m*K 42 W/m*K 33 W/m*K Specific Heat 140 kJ/kg*K 120 kJ/kg*K 150 kJ/kg*K 160 kJ/kg*K Device Bead Diameter…arrow_forwardRow indexing: Snow fall records stateSnowRecord contains the amount of snow fall (in cm) for various cities.
