Question:

A pipe is used for transporting hot fluid in which the inner surface is at 150°C. The pipe has a wall thickness of 5 mm and an inner diameter of 15 cm. The pipe wall has a variable thermal conductivity given as k(T) = k0 (1 + βT ), where k0 = 8.5 W/m ∙ K, β = 0.001 K−1, and T is in K. The pipe is situated in surroundings of freezing air at 0°C with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 60 W/m2∙K on the pipe’s outer surface. Solar radiation is incident on the pipe’s outer surface at a rate of 100 W/m2, and both the emissivity and solar absorptivity of the outer surface are 0.9. Determine the outer surface temperature of the pipe.
