It's 10 ft in diameter. As much as how much is pumped in would remain until boiled off. It's heated using natural gas and it's safe to assume that the pipe doesn't get cooled at all by the water and remains 300 degrees.
Thanks! No, it's not a homework problem, I'm on an internship working at a mill and have been asked to look into this. I've looked into Newton's cooling equation, hoping to get a value for the time it would take water to evaporate like so:
To = 10 degrees (cold water)
Tf = 100 degrees...
If I throw 10 gallons/minute of cold water for 4 days into an oven that's 300°C Celcius and 300ft long sloped at an angle of 10°, how far would the water make it down the oven before completely evaporating?
Even if you can't solve this directly, I'd love some advice or recommendations of how...
