Suppose that a pipe carrying a hot fluid with an external temperature of Ti and outer radius ri is to be insulated with an insulation material of thermal conductivity k and outer radius ro. Show that if the convective heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the insulation is h and the environmental temperature is T?, the addition of insulation can actually increases the rate of heat loss if ro < k /h and that maximum heat loss occurs when ro = k/h . This radius, rc, is often called the critical radius.

GIVEN
An insulated pipe External temperature of the pipe = Ti Outer radius of the pipe = ri Outer radius of insulation = ro Thermal conductivity = k Ambient temperature = T? Convective heat transfer coefficient = h

FIND
Show that (a) The insulation can increase the heat loss if ro < k/h (b) Maximum heat loss occurs when ro = k/h
ASSUMPTIONS
The system has reached steady state The thermal conductivity does not vary appreciably with temperature Conduction occurs in the radial direction only

A 3.0-m rod is pivoted about its left end. A force of 10 N is applied perpendicular to the rod at a distance of 1.2 m from the pivot causing a ccw torque, and a force of 5.2 N is applied at the end of the rod 3.0 m from the pivot. The 5.2-N force is at an angle of 30o to the rod and causes a cw torque. What is the net torque about the pivot? (Take ccw as positive.)

a. 18 N•m c. 4.2 N•m b. -18 N•m d. -4.2 N•m
