A steel duct whose internal diameter is 5.0 cm, and external diameter is 7.6 cm and thermal conductivity is: k = 15.0 (W/(m ºC)) is covered with an insulating material whose thickness is 2.0 cm and of thermal conductivity k = 0.2 (W/(m ºC)). A hot gas flows through the interior of the duct at a temperature of 330.0 ºC that generates a heat transfer coefficient by forced convection h=400.0 (W/(m^2 · ºC)). The outer surface of the insulating layer is exposed to air whose temperature is 30.0 ºC with forced convection heat transfer surface h = 60.0 (W/(m^2 · °C)). As a process engineer and in charge of company operations, you have been asked to: i. Determine the heat loss experienced by the pipe along 10.0 m. ii. The temperature drops that are generated in the different thermal resistances of the system. That is, on the air side, the duct wall and on the hot gas side.
