Question: A 1 5 0 mm steam pipe has inside diameter of 1 2 0 mm and outside diameter of 1 6 0 mm . It

A 150 mm steam pipe has inside diameter of 120 mm and outside diameter of 160 mm. It is insulated at the outside with asbestos. The steam temperature is 150C and the air temperature is 20C. The heat transfer coefficient on the steam side is 100 W/m2-C and on the air side is 30 W/m2-C. The thermal conductivity of asbestos is 0.8 W/m-C and of steel is 42 W/m-C. What is the heat loss per unit length if the asbestos insulation is 25 mm thick?
