A steel tube with a thermal conductivity of 55 W/m.K carries a fluid at 175°C, with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 190 W/m²./K. The tube has an external diameter of 5 cm, a wall thickness of 1 cm and a length of 1.5 m. The ambient air and surroundings are at 27°C, with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m².K. Neglecting the effects of radiation, determine: a) the resistance by conduction through the tube wall b) the convection resistance inside the tube c) The total rate of heat transfer
