I have an assignment and don't even know where to start so that's y am asking the experts on here to give me an idea how to go about this:
In a company factory, a steam line has been identified as loosing too much heat. The steam line has a diameter of 254mm ( it may be considered to be thin walled ) and has an overall length of 400mm.
The pipe carries steam directly from a boiler to a high pressure steam turbine and as it leaves the boiler the steam is at a pressure of 40 bar and is dry saturated.
Cost of each metric steam is £50 and that the mass flow rate of the steam is 60, 000 kg/hr.
Which Type of insulation is ideal and What thickness of insulations and their associated cost should be purchased and installed on the steam line?
Any help guys? new to this topic. ...thanks newman
