A pipe with an outside diameter of 3.5 in. is insulated with a 3 in. layer of asbestos (ka=0.396 BTU-in/hr- ft2 - 0 F), followed by a layer of cork 1.5 in. thick (kc=0.30 BTU-in/hr-ft2 - 0 F). If the temperature of the outer surface of the cork and pipe is 1000 F and 3000 F, respectively, calculate the heat lost per 100ft or insulated pipe.
