Question: ( a ) A steam - carrying pipe with an outer diameter of 2 5 cm and a length of 2 2 5 meters is

(a) A steam-carrying pipe with an outer diameter of 25 cm and a length of 225 meters is insulated with two layers of thermal insulation: The first layer (high-temperature insulation) is 5 cm thick and has a thermal conductivity of k1=0.095WmK, the second layer (low-temperature insulation) is 4 cm thick and has a thermal conductivity of k2=0.065WmK. The inner surface of the high temperature insulation is at 400C and the outer surface of the low temperature insulation is at 50C Aasume steady-state conditions and heat transfer only in radial directions. (a) Calculate the total heat loss per hour through the pipe. (b) Determine the temperature at the interface between the two insulation layers.
