Question: Problem # 2 ( 4 0 pts ) Steam is flowing through a stainless steel AISI 3 0 4 pipe with thermal conductivity of 1

Problem #2(40 pts)
Steam is flowing through a stainless steel AISI 304 pipe with thermal conductivity of 19Wm.K. The steam temperature is 200C and the convective heat transfer coefficient between the steam and the inner surface of the pipe is hs=65Wm2.K. The inner radius of the steel pipe is rl=0.08m, the outer radius of the pipe is r2=0.085m, and the length of the pipe is L=10m. An insulation made of glass fiber, coated, duct liner is applied on the outer surface of the pipe to reduce the heat loss. The outside radius of insulation is r3=0.1m. The temperature of the air surrounding the pipe is T=25C and the convective heat transfer coefficient is h=15Wm2.K.
(i) Draw a schematic of the problem.
(ii) What is the total heat loss from the steam to the surrounding air?
(iii) What is the temperature at the interface between the steel pipe and the insulation?
(iv) Will the given thickness of insulation reduce the heat loss?
