8.71 A 50-mm-diameter, thin-walled metal pipe covered with a 25-mm-thick layer of insulation (0.085 W/m.K) and carrying superheated steam at atmospheric pressure is suspended from the ceiling of a large room. The steam temperature entering the pipe is 120°C, and the air tem- perature is 20°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the covered pipe is 10 W/m².K. If the velocity of the steam is 10 m/s, at what point along the pipe will the steam begin condensing?

8.71 A 50-mm-diameter, thin-walled metal pipe covered with
a 25-mm-thick layer of insulation (0.085 W/m.K) and
carrying superheated steam at atmospheric pressure is
suspended from the ceiling of a large room. The steam
temperature entering the pipe is 120°C, and the air tem-
perature is 20°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient
on the outer surface of the covered pipe is 10 W/m².K.
If the velocity of the steam is 10 m/s, at what point along
the pipe will the steam begin condensing?
