This document presents a heat transfer problem involving calculating the temperature of the outside surface of a boiler tube and the permissible thickness of boiler scale. It provides the given parameters of the problem, such as the inner and outer diameters of the boiler tube, the temperature and pressure of the water inside, and the heat flux and fluid coefficient. The solution shows the calculations to determine (a) that the outside tube temperature is 462.6°F and (b) that the permissible thickness of boiler scale is 1.33 inches if the metallic temperature is not to exceed 925°F.

Name: Arana, Jon Mari A.
Student No.: 20141155422 Problem: A boiler tube (OD = 3.5 in., ID = 2.7 in) contains water at 1250 psia (t sat = 572 0F). The water film coefficient is hi = 2000 Btu/hr.ft2.0F when the heat flux is 52000 Btu/hr.ft 2 of the outside tube surface. Determine: (a) the outside tube temperature, (b) the permissible thickness of boiler scale if the metallic temperature is not to exceed 925 deg F. Thermal conductivities are: steel, k = 310 and for scale k = 3.5 Btu-in/hr.ft 2.0F. Solution :
