Question

A 250mm steam main, 225metres long is covered with 50mm of high temperature insulation (k = 0.095W/m K) and 40 mm of low temperature insulation (k = 0.065W/m K). The inner and outer surface temperatures as measured are 400°C and 50°C respectively. Calculate :

  • The total heat loss per hour. [5]
  • The total heat loss per m2 of outer surface.  [5]
  • The heat loss per m2 of pipe surface.   [4]
  • The temperature between the two layers of insulation.      [4]

    Neglect heat conduction through pipe material
