Hot water at an average temperature of 70°C is flowing through a 15-m section of a cast iron pipe (k = 52 W/m · °C) whose inner and outer diameters are 4 cm and 4.6 cm, respectively. The outer surface of the pipe, whose emissivity is 0.7, is exposed to the cold air at 10°C in the basement, with a heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2 · °C. The heat transfer coefficient at the inner surface of the pipe is 120 W/m2 · C. Taking the walls of the basement to be at 10°C also, determine the rate of heat loss from the hot water. Also, determine the average velocity of the water in the pipe if the temperature of the water drops by 3°C as it passes through the basement.
