Problem 1 (30 pts) Steam flowing through a long, thin-walled pipe maintains the pipe wall at a uniform temperature of 600K. The pipe is covered with an insulation blanket comprised of two different materials, A(kA?=2W/m?K) and B(kB?=0.5W/m?K). The inner radius of the insulation blanket is r1?=50mm and the outer radius is r2?=100mm. The nsulation blancket is covered by a layer of material 3 with k3?=0.2W/m?K and an outer radius r3?=120mm, which is expsosed to an convective environment (T??=300K and h=25W/m2?K). (a, 10pts) Sketch the thermal circuit of the system. Label all pertinent nodes and resistances. (b, 10pts) For the prescribed conditions, what is the total heat loss from the pipe to the environment? (c, 5pts) Calculate the temperature at r2?. Note that as an approximation, you may consider the temperature at r2? is the same. (d, 5 pts) What is the outer surface temperature at r3? ?
