A central heating system from a house consists of 50m of 15mm outside diameter copper pipe with a wall thickness of 1mm. This pipe is used to distribute water at a temperature of 70 degrees C. Calculate the rate of heat loss from the length of pipe if it is fitted with a 15mm radial thickness of insulation. Take the ambient air temperature to be 15 degrees C and the internal and external surface heat transfer coefficients to be 100 W/m².K and 8 W/m².K respectively. The thermal conductivity of the copper is known to be 400 W/m.K and 0.05 W/m.K for the insulation. State your answer correct to three significant figures in Watts.

Please I want the correct answer DONT't copy the previous answers here they are wrong 922 W is wrong answer please 

A central heating system from a house consists of 50m of 15mm outside diameter copper pipe with a wall thickness of 1mm. This pipe is used to distribute water at a temperature of 70 degrees C. Calculate the rate of heat loss from the length of pipe if it is fitted with a 15mm radial thickness of insulation. Take the ambient air temperature to be 15 degrees C and the internal and external surface heat transfer coefficients to be 100 W/m².K and 8 W/m2.K respectively. The thermal conductivity of the copper is known to be 400 W/m.K and 0.05 W/m.K for the insulation. State your answer correct to three significant figures in Watts. Assume steady state radial heat transfer. Answer: Ensure that you consider the overall effects of radial heat transfer through conduction and convection. Additionally ensure that you consider the overall length of the copper pipe.
