What is critical radius of insulation?



What is critical radius of insulation?..

Answer / Paras Verma

The critical radius of insulation (Rc) is the minimum radius of an insulated pipe beyond which heat loss through conduction becomes greater than heat loss through convection. At a given temperature, if the radius of an insulated pipe exceeds Rc, it may require additional insulation to minimize heat loss.

By contact with room temperature water at atmospheric pressure, 65 % of the carbon dioxide from a gas stream has been removed. (a) Find the mole ratio of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases at inlet and outlet gas streams. (b) The Henry's Law provides y = 1640 x for carbon dioxide in water. Find the mole ratio when x = 0.0000427. Mole ratio is y / (1 - y) for y.
