The heat loss from uninsulated hot water pipes installed in homes can be considerable and hence increases the overall energy cost of the home. Consider a 5-m-long section of such a pipe that has an outer diameter of 1.7 cm and a surface temperature of 75°C. If the room air temperature is 20°C, calculate the natural convection heat loss from the pipe section. If the radiation heat losses are to be included as well, determine its contribution as a percentage of the total pipe heat transfer rate; assume that the outer pipe surface has an emissivity of 0.7.
GIVEN
• Uninsulated hot water pipe dissipating heat to surrounding
• Emissivity (?) = 0.7
• Diameter of cylinder (D) = 1.7 cm= 0.017 m
• Surface temperature (Ts) = 75°C= 348 K
• Ambient air temperature (T?) = 20°C= 293 K
• Length of the cylinder (L)= 5 m
FIND
(a) Natural convection heat loss from pipe section.
(b) Contribution of radiation as percentage of
total pipe heat transfer rate.
