2. A copper tube with 8 cm outer diameter, 6 cm inner diameter and k = 15 W/m-K is covered with an insulation covering of thickness 3 cm and k = 0.2 W/m-K. A hot gas at 300°C with h₁ = 400 W/m²-K flow inside the tube. The outer surface of insulation is exposed to cool air at 30°C with ho= 50 W/m²-K. Find the overall heat transfer coefficient.
