Given: The size of the insulated pipe for transporting hot water is to be minimized. The size of the insulated pipe can be expressed as, y = D + 2T, where D is the diameter of the pipe, T is the insulation thickness, The total annual operating cost consists of the sum of the pumping cost and the heating cost, and it is to be no more than $40,000. Pumping cost = 8/D5 Heating cost = 1500/T Find: (a) the objective function and the constraint (b) the minimum cost using the hemstitching method, start with D = 0.2 and T = 0.1, and with ΔD = 0.005.

Problem #3 (15 points) A pipe carrying high-temperature water is to be insulated and then mounted in a restricted space as shown in the figure below. The choices of the pipe diameter D (in meters) and the insulation X (in meters) are to be such that the outside diameter of the insulation Y is a minimum, but the total operating cost of the installation is limited to $40,000. This annual operating cost has two components, the water pumping power cost...
5. Hot water at 50 C is routed from one building in which it is generated to an adjoining building in which it is used for space heating. Transfer between the buildings occurs in a steel pipe (k -60 W/mK) of 100-mm outside diameter and 8-mm wall thickness. During the winter, representative environmental conditions involve air at T=-5 C and V= 3 m/s in cross flow over the pipe (a) If the cost of producing the hot water is $0.10...
summarizr the followung info and write them in your own words and break them into different key points. 6.5 Metering Chamber: 6.5.1 The minimum size of the metering box is governed by the metering area required to obtain a representative test area for the specimen (see 7.2) and for maintenance of reasonable test accuracy. For example, for specimens incorporating air spaces or stud spaces, the metering area shall span an integral number of spaces (see 5.5). The depth of...
