Hot water is being transported in a horizontal pipe k 015


Question: Hot water is being transported in a horizontal pipe (k = 0.15 W/m·K, Di = 2.5 cm, Do = 4.5 cm), where the pipe inner surface temperature is at 100°C. A length of 2 m of the pipe outer surface is exposed to cool air at 12°C. Assuming that the properties of air can be evaluated at 40°C and 1 atm pressure, determine the outer surface temperature of the pipe. Is 40°C an appropriate film temperature for evaluation of the air properties?
