Question: Superheated steam at an average temperature T 1 = 3 2 0 C is transported through a cast iron pipe ( k = 8 0

Superheated steam at an average temperature T1=320C is transported through a cast iron pipe (k=80Wm*K) whose inner and outer diameters are D1=5cm and D2=5.5cm, respectively. The pipe is covered with 4-cm-thick gypsum plaster insulation with k=0.5Wm*K. Heat is lost to the surroundings at T2=10C by natural convection and radiation, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of h2=18Wm2*K.
1.1 Sketch the thermal resistance
1.2 Taking the heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe to be h1=60Wm2*K, calculate:
(a) the rate of heat loss from the steam per unit length of the pipe.
(b) the temperature drops across the pipe shell and the insulation.
