Question: A 1 0 c m diameter steam pipe, carrying steam at 1 8 0 C , is covered with an insulation ( thermal conductivity *

A 10cm diameter steam pipe, carrying steam at 180C, is covered with an insulation (thermal conductivity *0.6WmK) of thickness of 2cm. It loses heat to the surroundings at 30C. Assume a heat- transfer coeffieient of 8Wm2K for heat transfer fror. surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. The surface temperature of the insulation exposed to the surroundings will be
(a)30C
