Question: A refrigerant having a temperature T ( inf , 1 ) and a heat transfer coefficient h 1 flows inside the copper pipe. An insulation

A refrigerant having a temperature T(inf,1) and a heat transfer coefficient h1 flows inside the copper pipe. An insulation material was installed outside the copper pipe to cool this refrigerant. A fluid having a temperature T(inf,4) and a heat transfer coefficient h4 flows outside the insulation material.
