2. A steam condenser receives 10 kg/s of steam with an enthalpy of 2770 kJ/kg. Steam
condenses and leaves with an enthalpy of 160 kJ/kg. Cooling water passes through the
condenser with temperature increases from 13⁰C to 24⁰C. Calculate the water flow rate
in kg/s. (566.69)
3. An insulated steam pipe located where the ambient temperature is 32⁰C, has an
inside diameter of 50 mm with 10 mm thick wall. The outside diameter of the corrugated
asbestos insulation is 125 mm and the surface coefficient of still air, h o = 12 W/m2-K.
Inside the pipe is steam having a temperature of 150⁰C with film coefficient hi = 6000
W/m2-K. Thermal conductivity of pipe and asbestos insulation are 45 and 0.12 W/m-K
respectively. Determine the heat loss per unit length of pipe. (120 W/m)
4. A pipe with an outside diameter of 2.5 in. is insulated with 2 in. layer of asbestos (k =
0.396 Btu-in/hr-ft2-⁰F), followed by a layer of cork 1.5 inches thick (k = 0.30 Btu-in/hr-ft 2-
⁰F). If the temperature of the outer surface of the cork is 90⁰F, calculate the heat loss
per 100 ft of insulated pipe. (2847.42 Btu/hr)
5. Steam, initially saturated at 20.5 bar, passes through a 10.10 cm standard steel pipe
for a total distance of 152 meters. The steam line is insulated with 5.08 cm thickness of
85% magnesia. For an ambient temperature of 22°C, neglecting steam surface
coefficient, what is the quality of the steam which arises at its destination if the mass
flow rate is 0.125 kg steam per second?
Note: k for 85% magnesia is 0.069W/m-K and h o for still air is 9.36 W/m2-K (93%)
