The wall of a 5 m high cylinderical steel tank (ks= 20 W/mK) of inner diameter 1.5 m and 200 mm thick contains hot oil at 100 C. On the outside of the tank 12 mm of spray urethane insulation is added to stop the oil from cooling. If the worst outside temperature is -6 , (hi = 16 W/m^2 K) and (ho = 5 W/m^2 K) how much heat needs to be added to keep the tank at 100 C for pumping reasons and what are the overall heat transfer coefficients Uo and Ui?
