An overhead 65-m-long, uninsulated industrial steam pipe of 80 mm diameter is routed through a building whose walls and air are at 30 °C. Pressurized steam maintains a pipe surface temperature of 200 "C, and the coefficient associated with natural convection is h = 15 W/m K. The surface emissivity is e= 0.6. What is the rate of heat loss from the steam line?
