Question: Ex 3 A 5 0 - m - long section of a steam pipe whose outer diameter is 1 0 cm passes through an open

Ex3
A50-m-long section of a steam pipe whose outer diameter is 10 cm passes through an open space at 15C. The average temperature of the outer surface of the pipe is measured to be 150C. If the combined heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the pipe is 20Wm2*C, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam pipe. and (c) the thickness of fiberglass insulation Wm*C) needed in order to save 90 percent of the heat lost. Assume the pipe temperature to remain constant at 150C.
