Transport Processes (SKKK 2313) ASSIGNMENT # 1 1. Consider a steam pipe of length L=20 m‚ inner radius r1=6 cm‚ outside radius r2=8 cm‚ and thermal conductivity k=20 W/m.k. The inner and outer surfaces of the pipe are maintained at average temperatures of T1=150oC and T2=60oC‚ respectively. Obtain a general relation for the temperature distribution inside the pipe under steady conditions‚ and determine the rate of heat loss from the steam through the pipe. Assume that heat transfer is one-dimensional
