[Heat Lost From a 6-Inch OD Steam Line]
Analyze heat lost from a 6-inch OD steam line. The line carries high-pressure steam throughout the factory at 400 psi, 400oF. Specify type and thickness for insulating the steam line. Compare the cost of energy lost with and without pipe insulation. You can assume steam is generated 8000 hours/year. Compare energy cost reductions based upon a gas fired boiler and a fuel oil fired boiler. Assume boiler energy input at 6.5(106) Btu/hr.

Given outer diameter OD = 6-inch, pressure = 400 psi, steam temperature = 400oF.

The following assumptions are made;

The steam pipe is made of mild steel
The ...

ABSTRACT

The environmental friendly activities have been given utmost importance in every field. Due to the environmental degradation, the new trend of “go green” has been formed among the people. The people are very persistent about sustainability. The architecture and civil engineering are one of the major fields where the sustainability has to be considered on priority basis. Architect Stefano Boeri has been translating his unique idea of sustainability through world’s first vertical forest building, Bosco Verticale. The objective of the present paper is to explore the safety, durability and the sustainability of the architecture. It these factors are ...

This paper will focus on analysis of a gas fired rotary kiln in the processing of Bentonite. A rotary kiln is a drier that is used for increasing the temperatures of materials in a process called calcinations through a continuous progression. During the processing of minerals such as Bentonite and cement, this kiln is appropriate. Its thermal efficiency ranges from 50% to 65%. This kiln has a cylinder that is slightly incline horizontally and rotates gradually about its axis. Materials that are to be processed are fed into the kiln through the upper part of the cylinder. These materials slowly move to the lower ...
