Identify the FALSE statement. The big bang:

occurred more than 13 billion years ago.

cataclysmically exploded matter outward.

began with all matter and energy concentrated in an infinitesimally small point.

theory states that at the instant of explosion, everything had so much thermal energy even the smallest atomic pieces couldn't exist.

is the explanation for how our Solar System developed.

A standard 4 10 cm steel pipe (ID = 10.066 cm., OD = 11.25 cm) carries superheated steam at 650°C in an enclosed space where a fire hazard exists, limiting the outer surface temperature to 38°C. To minimize the insulation cost, two materials are to be used; first a high temperature (relatively expensive) insulation is to be applied to the pipe and then magnesia (a less expensive material) on the outside. The maximum emperature of the magnesia is to be 315°C. The following constants are known.


(a) Specify the thickness for each insulating material.
(b) Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the pipe OD.
(c) What fraction of the total resistance is due to (1) steam-side resistance, (2) steel pipe
resistance, (3) insulation (combination of the two), and (4) outside resistance?
(d) How much heat is transferred per hour, per foot length of pipe?
