Question: A 1 0 - c m outside diameter by 6 - c m inside diameter steel pipe - steel = 4 3 W m .

A 10-cm outside diameter by 6-cm inside diameter steel pipe -steel =43Wm.K carries steam. The steel pipe is wrapped in 10-cm layer of asbestos insulation ( k asbestos =0.156Wm.K), which is further covered by 1-cm thick layer of plaster ( k plaster =0.107Wm.K, as shown in the figure below. If the temperature of the inside wall of the steel pipe is 980C, and the temperature on the outside surface of the plaster is 41.6C, determine the rate of heat conduction per unit length though the pipe-insulation-plaster system. (25 Points).
