A 15 cm outer diameter steam pipe is covered with 5 cm high temperature insulation (k = 0.85 W/m °C ) and 4 cm of low temperature (k = 0.72 W/moC). The steam is at 500 °C and ambient air is at 40 °C. Neglecting thermal resistance of steam and air sides and metal wall, calculate the heat loss from 100 m length of the pipe. Also find temperature drop across the insulation.

Subject: Heat Transfer 

A 15 cm outer diameter steam pipe is covered with 5 cm high
temperature insulation (k = 0.85 W/m °C ) and 4 cm of low temperature
(k = 0.72 W/m°C). The steam is at 500 °C and ambient air is at 40 °C.
Neglecting thermal resistance of steam and air sides and metal wall,
calculate the heat loss from 100 m length of the pipe. Also find
temperature drop across the insulation.
