A pipe with an outside diameter of 3.5 in. is insulated with a 3 in. layer of asbestos (ka=0.396 BTU-in/hr- ft2 - 0 F), followed by a layer of cork 1.5 in. thick (kc=0.30 BTU-in/hr-ft2 - 0 F). If the temperature of the outer surface of the cork and pipe is 1000 F and 3000 F, respectively, calculate the heat lost per 100ft or insulated pipe.

In a glass plant in Cavite, a furnace has fire-brick walls made up of the following two materials in series : Non-corrosive brick as inner layer (material 1) Clay brick as outer layer (material 2) Thickness 4.5 inches 8 inches Thermal conductivity k1 k2 The temperature inside the furnace (inside wall surface of the non-corrosive brick) is found to be 1105 oF while the outside temperature (outside wall surface of clay brick) is 365 oF. This is not the desired temperature inside the furnace so engineers thought of lagging the furnace walls with another material to reduce heat loss. The additional lagging material consists of magnesia layer which is 2 inches thick and has a thermal conductivity of 0.04 Btu /h.ft.oF. During a test run on the furnace with the magnesia lagging material now, new temperature readings were recorded : Point of measurement Temperature reading Inside furnace (inside wall surface of non-corrosive brick 1355 oF Interface between…

If the temperature at the inner surface of the pipe is 290°F and at the outer surface of the cork is 90°F, calculate the heat loss per 100 ft of insulated pipe. (Btu/hr)
A steel pipe of outside diameter of 0.051 m is insulated with a 0.0064-m thickness of asbestos followed by a 0.0254-m layer of fiber glass. If the pipe wall is 315.6o C and outside insulation is 37.8o C, what is the temperature between the asbestos and fiber glass? kasbestos = 0.166 W/mo C and kfiber glass = 0.0485 W/mo C.
The section of a vertical wall is made up of fiberglass insulation slabs separated by wooden studs. The thermal conductivity of fiberglass and wood are 0.04 W/m∙K and 0.18 W/m∙K, respectively. The thickness of the wall is 180 mm. The temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the wall section are 23.5 °C and 4.7 °C, respectively. The ratio of the insulation area to the total wall area is 0.8. Calculate the total heat flow rate (in W/m2) through the wall per unit area.
a pipe with an outside diameter of 2.5 inches is insulated with 2 inches layer of asbestos ( K= 0.396(btu-in)/(hr-ft-F) followed by a layer of cork 1.5 inches thick ( K= 0.30 (btu-in)/ft (hr-ft-F). if the temperature of the outer surface of the cork and pipe is 90 F and 290 F RESPECTIVELY, calculate the heat loss per 100 ft of insulated pipe in btu/hr
Answer within 10 minutes : The temperature at the inside surface of an oven is 460 oF. The inside wall of the oven is made of brick and is 8 inch thick. The thermal conductivity of the brick is 2.2 Btu/hr.ft2.(oF/ft). The outside of the oven is covered with a 3-inch layer of asbestos as insulation, which has a thermal conductivity of 0.11 Btu/hr.ft2.(oF/ft). If the outer surface of the insulation has a temperature of 100 oF , calculate the amount of heat lost through 2 ft2 of wall area in 3 hours.

3.6 Heat losses through windows in buildings are substantial. What would be the percentage reduction in heat loss that would be mitigated by replacing a window containing a single pane of glass with (a) double-pane low-E insulating glass or (b) a 3-inch-thick sheet of expanded polystyrene sheet? The quoted R values for these items are: • single pane of glass: 0.90 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu, • double pane of low-E insulating glass: 2.3 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu, • 1-inch-thick sheet of polystyrene sheet: 4.0 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu.
