An uninsulated chilled water pipe carrying water at 2 C

An uninsulated chilled water pipe carrying water at 2 C passes through a hot humi factory area where the temperature is 35 C and the relative humidity is 80 percen because of steam operated equipment in the factory If the pipe is 5 cm in diamete and the exposed length is 7 5 m estimate the condensate that will drip off the pipe For this estimate assume that the pipe is exposed to saturated vapor at the partial pressure of the water vapor in the air
