Question

1. A 24.3-foot long pipe use to carry solvent through a chemical plant is made of two layers. The inner layer is a one-inch schedule 30 stainless steel (AISI 304)

pipe. An outer coating is made of plain carbon steel and is 0.075 inches thick. The hot solvent stream can be assumed to have a constant temperature of 180.0 °F as it passes through the pipe. On the outside of the pipe is air at 85.0 °F. Given the solvent has a convective heat transfer coefficient of 275 Btu/h-ft²-°F, while the air has a convective heat transfer coefficient of 140 Btu/h-ft^2-°F. A. Determine UA and q for heat transfer in this system. B. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficients, U; and Uo, for the pipe. C. Would your answer change if the two materials were swapped so that the inside material were carbon steel and the outside material of the pipe were made of AISI 304 stainless steel? If so, calculate new values for UA and q. If not, explain why your answer would not change. (Here, assume the dimensions of the inner material (now plain carbon steel) match those of the AISI 304 schedule 30 stainless steel from part A, and the stainless steel is 0.075 inches thick on the outside.)
