Hot CO2 gas at a temperature T-1 = 250°C is flowing through a steel pipe (kı = 70 W/(m.K)) whose inner and outer radiuses are 12 cm and 14 cm, respectively, in a cold environment at Tm2 = -10°C. As shown in the figure below, the steel pipe is insulated with 7.0 cm thick spray-foam insulation (k2 = 0.03 W/(m.K)) and 5.0 cm thick glassfiber insulation (k3 = 0.05 W/(m.K)).

Two large parallel plates of smooth sheet iron are separated by a vacuum. Coulson and Richardson (1999) reports that the emissivity of smooth sheet iron is in the range of 0.55 – 0.60 (OK to assume grey bodies). The temperatures of the sheets are 300 and 100°F. If the two surfaces are at the lower end of emissivity (0.55), what is the net radiation heat flux from the hotter surface to the cooler one, Q12/A ([=] W/m2)? Repeat part (a)...
