A long, uninsulated steam line with a diameter of 100 mm and a surface emissivity of 0.8 transports steam at 150°C and is exposed to atmospheric air and large surroundings at an equivalent temperature of 20°C. (a) Calculate the rate of heat loss per unit length for a calm day. (b) Calculate the rate of heat loss on a breezy day when the wind speed is 8 m/s. (c) For the conditions of part (a), calculate the rate of heat loss with a 20-mm-thick layer of insulation (k = 0.08 W/m K). Would the heat loss change significantly with an appreciable wind speed?

A long, uninsulated steam line with a diameter of 100 mm and a surface emissivity of 0.8
transports steam at 150°C and is exposed to atmospheric air and large surroundings at an equivalent
temperature of 20°C.
(a) Calculate the rate of heat loss per unit length for a calm day.
(b) Calculate the rate of heat loss on a breezy day when the wind speed is 8 m/s.
(c) For the conditions of part (a), calculate the rate of heat loss with a 20-mm-thick layer of insulation
(k = 0.08 W/m K). Would the heat loss change significantly with an appreciable wind speed?
