Heat Transfer
A 10 cm dia steam pipe, carrying steam at 180°C, is covered with an insulation (conductivity = 0.6 W/m.°C). It losses heat to the surroundings at 30°C. Assume a heat transfer co-efficient of 0.8 W/m².°C for heat transfer from surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. If the insulation thickness is 2 cms, the rate of heat loss from this insulated pipe will be

Equal to that of the uninsulated steam pipe
Greater than that for uninsulated steam pipe
Less than the steam pipe with 5 cms insulation
Less than that of the uninsulated steam pipe

Heat Transfer
Air is to be heated by condensing steam. Two heat exchangers are available (i) a shell and tube heat exchanger and (ii) a finned tube heat exchanger. Tube side heat transfer area are equal in both the cases. The recommended arrangement is

Shell and tube heat exchanger with air on shell side and steam inside tubes
Finned tube heat exchanger with air outside and steam inside
Shell and tube heat exchanger with air inside tubes and steam on shell side
Finned tube heat exchanger with air inside and steam outside
