    Problem No. 1:
    An insulated steam pipe (k = 312 Btu-in/hr.ft2.0F), located where the ambient temperature
    is 90 deg F, has an internal diameter of 2 in and external diameter of 2.25 in. The outside
    diameter of the corrugated asbestos insulation (k = 0.828 Btu-in/hr.ft2.0F) is 5 in and the
    surface coefficient on the outside is 2.5 Btu/hr.ft2.0F. On the inside, the steam has a
    temperature of 300 deg F and h = 1000 Btu/hr.ft2.0F. Compute (a) the heat loss per foot
    of the pipe length, and (b) the surface temperature on the inside of the insulation.

    Problem No. 2:
    A hollow steel sphere (k=312 BTU-in/HR.sq.ft.deg F) contains a 150-Watt electrical
    filament, and these data are known: inside radius = 10 in, outside radius = 12 in. The film
    coefficients for the inner and outer surfaces are 6 and 2 Btu/HR sq.ft deg F respectively;
    the environmental temperature is 85 deg F. If 1-in layer of insulation is wrapped around
    (k = 0.43 BTU-in/HR.sq.ft.deg F) the sphere and assuming steady state compute: (a) the
    temperature of the inside air, and (b) surface temperature between the sphere and the
    insulation.
