9-35 A fluid flows through a pipe in calm ambient air. The pipe is heated electrically. The thickness of the insulation needed to reduce the losses by 85% and the money saved during 10-h are to be determined. Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Air is an ideal gas with constant properties. 3 The local atmospheric pressure is 1 atm. Properties Insulation will drop the outer surface temperature to a value close to the ambient temperature, and possible below it because of the very low sky temperature for radiation heat loss. For convenience, we use the properties of air at 1 atm and 5C (the anticipated film temperature) (Table A-15), k = 0.02401 W/m.C T = -30C

Money saved = (Energy saved)(Unit cost of energy) = (247.3 kWh )($0.09 / kWh ) = $22.26

The characteristic length in this case is the outer diameter of the insulated pipe, Lc = D + 2tinsul = 0.3 + 2tinsul where tinsul is the thickness of insulation in m. Then the problem can be formulated for Ts and tinsul as follows:
Ra = g (Ts T ) L3 c

In steady operation, the heat lost by the side surfaces of the pipe must be equal to the heat lost from the exposed surface of the insulation by convection and radiation, which must be equal to the heat conducted through the insulation. Therefore, 2kL(Ttank Ts ) 2 (0.035 W/m.C)(100 m)(298 Ts )K & =Q & Q 4364 W = insulation = ln( Do / D) ln[(0.3 + 2t insul ) / 0.3] The solution of all of the equations above simultaneously using an equation solver gives Ts = 281.5 K = 8.5C and tinsul = 0.013 m = 1.3 cm. Note that the film temperature is (8.5+0)/2 = 4.25C which is very close to the assumed value of 5C. Therefore, there is no need to repeat the calculations using properties at this new film temperature.

Heat loss and its cost without insulation was determined in the Prob. 9-39 to be 27.388 kW and $11,550. Then the reduction in the heat losses becomes

9-44 It is proposed that the side surfaces of a cubic industrial furnace be insulated for $550 in order to reduce the heat loss by 90 percent. The thickness of the insulation and the payback period of the insulation to pay for itself from the energy it saves are to be determined.

The furnace operates continuously and thus 8760 h. Then the amount of energy and money the insulation will save becomes

Money saved = (Energy saved)(Unit cost of energy) = (5215 therms)($0.55 / therm) = $2868

Therefore, the money saved by insulation will pay for the cost of $550 in 550/($2868/yr)=0.1918 yr = 70 days.

m = V = (1000 kg/m 3 )(0.28 0.18 0.18)m 3 = 9.072 kg

Then the amount of heat transfer to the water is Q = mc p (T2 T1 ) = (9.072 kg)(4214 J/kg.C)(T2 - 275)C = 38,229(T2 - 275)

The average rate of heat transfer can be expressed as & = Q = 38,229(T2 - 275) = 3.53976(T - 275) (Eq. 2) Q 2 3 3600 s t Setting Eq. 1 and Eq. 2 equal to each other, we obtain the final water temperature. T2 = 284.7 K = 11.7C We could repeat the solution using air properties at the new film temperature using this value to increase the accuracy. However, this would only affect the heat transfer value somewhat, which would not have significant effect on the final water temperature. The average rate of heat transfer can be determined from Eq. 2 & = 3.53976 (11.7 2) = 34.3 W Q
