A steel pipe (outside diameter 100 mm) is covered with two
layers of insulation. The inside layer, 40 mm thick, has a
thermal conductivity of 0.07 W/(m K). The outside layer,
20 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/(m K).
The pipe is used to convey steam at a pressure of 600 kPa. The
outside temperature of insulation is 24°C. If the pipe is 10 m
long, determine the following, assuming the resistance to
conductive heat transfer in steel pipe and convective resistance
on the steam side are negligible:
