By way of introduction, I am Dave Soukup, Managing Director Governance on the ASME staff and administrator of the October 2018 PE Study Group https://community.asme.org/pe_exam_study_group/default.aspx One of the participants in the study group would like an explanation of the following problem: A steel pipe is painted on the outside with dull gray (oil-based) paint. The pipe is 35 ft long. The pipe has a 4 inch inside diameter and a 4.25 inch outside diameter. The pipe carries 200 cubic feet/min of 500 degree F, 25 psig air through a 70 degree F room. The conditions of the air at the end of the pipe are 350 degree F and 15 psig. Is the overall coefficient of heat transfer most nearly 1.0, 1.8, 3.6 or 49 Btu/hr-sq ft - F.? Can the heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe be neglected in the calculation?
