Question:

Air flows at 120ºC in a thin-wall stainless-steel tube with h = 65 W/m2 · ºC. The inside diameter of the tube is 2.5 cm and the wall thickness is 0.4 mm. k = 18 W/m · ºC for the steel. The tube is exposed to an environment with h = 6.5 W/m2 · ºC and T∞ = 15ºC. Calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient and the heat loss per meter of length. What thickness of an insulation having k = 40 mW/m · ºC should be added to reduce the heat loss by 90 percent?
