Heat loss in a cylindrical pipe, Physics

Assignment Help:

The project consists of a word processed (typed) report submitted by the project report due date. Late submissions are penalized 10% of the mark per day, including Saturdays and Sundays.

The topic for the project is Heat Loss in a Cylindrical Pipe, although you may choose a different title. The aim is to research a variety of pipes of different sizes made of different material, and a variety of insulators available in the market, and look at different combination which are economically feasible. The project is also a good introduction on how to write a professional report which you will be faced with in your career, you should take care to ensure that all spelling and punctuation is correct and that the overall look of the report is polished and clean.

The report should consist of the following components:

1. A cover page. Include the Student Name, Course Code, Title and Date. Your cover page is the fist thing the reader sees so it may be a good idea to add graphics to the page to draw attention to your report.

2. Introduction to the topic. Research the topic of heat loss in a cylindrical pipe. Explain which laws of physics are used to discuss heat loss in a pipe, and briefly explain how the famous equation for the loss of heat in a cylindrical pipe is derived. Explain the different variables and parameters involved, together with their appropriate units.

3. Description of the problem. Explain that your intention is to investigate a variety of combinations of pipe material, insulation material and size which you could potentially consider when deciding on pipeline system for a house. What other factors should be considered? What are the typical combinations that people use in Brampton? Is this different from what you find for other countries? If so, what are the reasons behind this difference? Your descriptions and diagrams should be clear enough that someone new to the subject would be able to read your paper and understand it. One good measure of completeness is to ask yourself if you would be able to understand the paper by reading your descriptions. In other words your description should be a clear, self-contained exposition of the topic, much like one that you could find in the textbook on a given topic.

4. Description of the steps involved in solving the problem. Outline in clear terms how you would find the necessary information, and how you would analyze, categorize and display the information you have gathered.

5. A detailed solution. List all the relevant types of pipes, insulators and sizes you have researched. Based on this information, calculate the heat loss per meter for each of the combinations you can figure out. Summarize the result in a graphical way, such as a table, such that they are easy to read and understand. Explain whether your findings for the best combination, which leads to the least loss of heat, matches what people use in your community. If not, elaborate on this. You may use a simple code to get the data and find all the heat losses for you.
