 A large steam pipe is covered with a 5.70 cm thick

A large steam pipe is covered with a 5.70 cm thick insulating material with a thermal conductivity of 0.29 W/(m C). How much energy is lost every second when the temperature of the steam inside the pipe is at 260 C and the temperature outside of the pipe is 26.0 .C? The pipe has a diameter of 3.70 m and a length of 250 m. Neglect losses through the ends of the pipe. 0/20
