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

Heat Transfer
A process stream of dilute aqueous solution flowing at the rate of10 Kg.s⁻¹ is to be heated. Steam condensate at 95°C is available for heating purpose, also at a rate of 10 Kg.s⁻¹. A 1 - 1 shell and tube heat exchanger is available. The best arrangement is

Parallel flow with process stream on tube side
Counter flow with process stream on shell side
Parallel flow with process stream on shell side
Counter flow with process stream on tube side
