A 0.20-m-diameter, thin-walled steel pipe is used to transport saturated steam at a pressure of 20 bars in a room for which the air temperature is 25°C and the con- vection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the pipe is 20 W/m2 K (a) What is the rate of heat loss per unit length from the bare pipe (no insulation)? Estimate the heat rate per unit length if a 50-mm-thick layer of insulation (mag- nesia, 85%) is added. The steel and magnesia may each be assumed to have an emissivity of 0.8, and the steam-side convection resistance may be neglected (b) The costs associated with generating the steam and installing the insulation are known to be $4/109 J and $100/m of pipe length, respectively. If the steam line is to operate 7500 h/yr, how many years are needed to pay back the initial investment in insulation?

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.
