The figure below shows a cross section through an insulated heating pipe which is made from steel (k = 45 W/mK) with an inner radius of 150 mm and outer radius of 155 mm. The pipe is coated with 100 mm thickness of insulation having thermal conductivity of k = 0.06 W/mK. Air at inlet temperature Ti = 60°C flow through the pipe has a value of convective coefficient hi = 35 W/m2K. The outside surface of the pipe is surrounded by air which is at 15°C and convective heat transfer coefficient on this surface has a value of ho = 10 W/m2K. Find the critical insulation radius?

Concept:The insulation radius at which resistance to heat flow is minimum and consequently heat flow rate is maximum is called “critical radius”.The critical radius of insulation for a cylindrical BODY:\({r_{cr,cylinder}} = \frac{k}{h}\)where, k = conductivity of insulation, h = convective heat TRANSFER coefficient of OUTER bodyCalculation:Given:k = 0.06 W/mK, h = 10 W/m2KCritical radius for cylinder\(\begin{array}{l} {r_c} = \frac{{{k_{insulation}}}}{{{h_{outside}}}}\\ = \frac{{0.06}}{{10}} = 0.006\;m = 6~mm \END{array}\)
