5.1. A steam pipe which has a length of 1 m is exposed to windy air.

Determine the rate of heat

loss from the steam.

Assumptions: 1 Steady operating condition exists. 2 Radiation effects are negligible. 3 Air is an
ideal gas with constant properties.

5.2. Flow of hot air through un-insulated square ducts of a heating system in the attic is
considered. Determine the exit temperature of the air and the rate of heat loss. Where, the side of
the square duct is 0.15 m. The properties of air is at 1 atm and temperature 82 oC
Assumptions 1 Steady operating condition exists. 2 The inner surfaces of the duct are smooth. 3
Air is an ideal gas with constant properties. 4 The pressure of air is 1 atm.
