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
