A steel tube with 6 cm ID, 8.2 cm OD and k=18 W/m-C is covered with an insulative covering of thickness 3 cm and k = 0.3 W/m-C . A hot gas at 330 C with h = 400 W/m^2-C flows inside the tube. The outer surface of the insulation is exposed to cooler air at 28 C with h = 60 W/m^2-C. Calculate the heat loss from the tube to the air for 12 m of the tube and the temperature drops resulting from the thermal resistances of the hot gas flow, the steel tube, the insulation layer and the outside air.
