Question

4.16 Estimate the convective heat-transfer coefficient for natural convection from a horizontal
steam pipe. The outside surface temperature of the insulated pipe is 80°C. The
surrounding air temperature is 25°C. The outside diameter of the insulated pipe is 10 cm.

4.17 A vertical cylindrical container is being cooled in ambient air at 25°C with no air circulation.
If the initial temperature of the container surface is 100°C, compute the surface
heat transfer coefficient due to natural convection during the initial cooling period. The
diameter of the container is 1 m, and it is 2m high
