A 2-in. schedule-40 steel pipe carries saturated steam at 60 psi through a laboratory that is 60
Question:
A 2-in. schedule-40 steel pipe carries saturated steam at 60 psi through a laboratory that is 60 ft long. The pipe is insulated with 1.5 in. of 85% magnesia that costs $0.75 per foot. How long must the steam line be in service to justify the insulation cost if the heating cost for the steam is $0.68 per 105 Btu? The outside-surface convective heat-transfer coefficient may be taken as 5 Btu/h ft2 °F.
