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

AI Thread 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!

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
