Question: Steam at 3 2 5 C flows in a cast iron pipe whose inner and outer diameters are 5 and 5 . 5 cm ,

Steam at 325C flows in a cast iron pipe whose inner and outer diameters are 5 and 5.5 cm , respectively. The pipe is covered with 3.2 cm thick glass wool (Glass fibre duct liner) insulation and is 1 m long. Heat is lost to the surroundings at 15C by natural convection and radiation, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of 19Wm2K.
a)
Taking the heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe to be 54Wm2K, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam per unit length of the pipe (Wm).
B) Determne tempature drop across the cast iron pipe Celvius
C) Determine the tempature drop across the insulation Celcius
