2. A steam line is covered with two successive layers of insulation. The 1.6 in thick layer in contact with the pipe is asbestos which is covered with a 1.4 inch thickness of magnesia insulation. The internal pipe diameter is 3 in, the pipewall thickness is 0.40 in made from common brick. The steam temperature is 850 F, and the internal surface film coefficient is 50 Btu/hr.ft2.F, while the ambient outer temperature is 105 F and the outer surface film coefficient is 3.0 Btu/hr.ft².F. Calculate the following: a. value of U based upon the external area of the magnesia covering, Btu/hr.ft2.F b. heat loss from the steam for a length of 190 feet of pipe, Btu/hr

2. A steam line is covered with two successive layers of insulation. The 1.6 in thick
layer in contact with the pipe is asbestos which is covered with a 1.4 inch
thickness of magnesia insulation. The internal pipe diameter is 3 in, the pipewall
thickness is 0.40 in made from common brick. The steam temperature is 850ºF,
and the internal surface film coefficient is 50 Btu/hr.ft².F, while the ambient
outer temperature is 105°F and the outer surface film coefficient is 3.0
Btu/hr.ft².F. Calculate the following:
a. value of U based upon the external area of the magnesia covering, Btu/hr.ft2.F
b. heat loss from the steam for a length of 190 feet of pipe, Btu/hr
