Rate of heat flux from from hot gas in a pipe to water outside

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the rate of heat flux from hot gas in a pipe to surrounding water. The participant has successfully derived an equation for temperature distribution, T(x) - T0 = (T1 - T0)e^(-Φx/fc), where f is defined as fm. They seek guidance on how to derive the expression for heat transfer coefficient H. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding radial heat flow in a pipe section. The participant later confirms they have obtained the answer to their query.

I have solved the first 2 parts.
For the 3rd part, I have obtained the equation:
T(x) - T0 = (T1 - T0)e^(-Φx/fc), where f = fm in the question.

How do I obtain that expression for H?

Thank you!

Consider a section of pipe (x, x+dx). What is the rate of radial flow of heat there?

Thank you so much for this! I have now obtained the answer
 
Thread 'Chain falling out of a horizontal tube onto a table'
My attempt: Initial total M.E = PE of hanging part + PE of part of chain in the tube. I've considered the table as to be at zero of PE. PE of hanging part = ##\frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{l}gh^{2}##. PE of part in the tube = ##\frac{m}{l}(l - h)gh##. Final ME = ##\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{l}gh^{2}## + ##\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{l}hv^{2}##. Since Initial ME = Final ME. Therefore, ##\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{l}hv^{2}## = ##\frac{m}{l}(l-h)gh##. Solving this gives: ## v = \sqrt{2g(l-h)}##. But the answer in the book...
