Question: Hot engine oil is being transported in a horizontal pipe ( k = 1 5 W / m K , Di = 5 cm )

Hot engine oil is being transported in a horizontal pipe (k =15 W/mK, Di =5 cm) with a wall thickness of 5 mm. The pipe is covered with a 5-mm-thick layer of insulation (k =0.15 W/mK). A length of 2 m of the outer surface is exposed to cool air at 10\deg C. If the pipe inner surface temperature is at 90\deg C, determine the outer surface temperature in \deg C. Begin the calculations by using a film temperature of 50\deg C.
Given: The properties of air at Tf =50\deg C.
k =0.02514 W/mK,
v =1.516 x 105 m2/s,
Pr =0.7309
