Q#32:

Cross-section of a piping system & surroundings brickwork the two pipes are for
conveying acid to planting operation the 4 nominal pipe reaches A wall
temperature of 22 c the pipes are by clay earth 28% moisture in a fully insulated
brick-lined channel any heat lost by heated pipe is gained only by other pipe
Determine heat transfer rate per unit length between pipes if they are .4m apart
centre to centre

Assumptions
Surface temperature of the pipe is constant and equal to T1
The system is steady state
Material properties are constant

Given Data.
4 = 1 = 100
4 = 1 = 50
6 = 2 = 150
6 = 2 = 75
1 = 92
2 = 22
= = .8

Solution
11.

Hence shape factor is

2 12 22
= 2/ [cosh {
}]
212
1

4002 502 752

= 2 3.14/ [cosh1 {
}]

2 50 75

6.28
= 6.28/ [cosh1 20.25 =
= 5.907

1.063

HEAT transfer per unit length.

= /
= 1 2
= .8 5.907 92 22
= 330.792
