Energy management and Audit question A steam main 150mm outside diameter containing wet steam at 28 bar is insulated with an inner layer of diatomaceous earth, 40mm thick, and an outer layer of 85% magnesia, 25mm thick.  The inside surface of the pipe is at the steam temperature, and the heat transfer coefficient for the outside surface of the lagging is 17 W/m2 K. The thermal conductivities of diatomaceous earth and 85% magnesia are 0.09, and 0.06 W/m K respectively. Neglecting radiation, and the thermal resistance of the pipe water flow rate is 1400 kg/h. Taking the specific heat capacity of water as 4.19 kj/kg K, calculate; The required pipe length for parallel-flow The required pipe length for counter-flow
