Identify the effect of adding a layer of magnesia


Solve the below problem:

Q: We wish to determine the effect of adding a layer of magnesia insulation to the steam pipe of the foregoing problem. The convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation may be assumed to remain at 25 W/m2 · K, and the emissivity is e = 0.8. Determine and plot the heat loss per unit length of pipe and the outer surface temperature as a function of insulation thickness. If the cost of generating the steam is $4/109 J and the steam line operates 7000 h/yr. recommend an insulation thickness and determine the corresponding annual savings in energy costs. Plot the temperature distribution in the insulation for the recommended thickness.
