An insulated steam pipe located where the ambient temperature is 32C, has an  inside diameter of 40 mm with 5 mm thick wall. The outside diameter of the  corrugated asbestos insulation is 115 mm and the surface coefficient of sill air is  11W/meter square –kelvin. Inside the pipe is steam having a temperature of 130 C  with film coefficient 7000 13W/meter square –kelvin. Thermal conductivity of pipe  and asbestos insulation are 40 and 0.11 W/m-K respectively. Determine the heat  loss per unit length of pipe

An insulated steam pipe located where the ambient temperature is 32C, has an 
inside diameter of 40 mm with 5 mm thick wall. The outside diameter of the 
corrugated asbestos insulation is 115 mm and the surface coefficient of sill air is 
11W/meter square –kelvin. Inside the pipe is steam having a temperature of 130 C 
with film coefficient 7000 13W/meter square –kelvin. Thermal conductivity of pipe 
and asbestos insulation are 40 and 0.11 W/m-K respectively. Determine the heat 
loss per unit length of pipe
