Question

A pipe carrying the liquid at -20°C is 10 mm in outer diameter and is exposed to ambient at 25°C with 
convective heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/m2
-K. It is proposed to apply the insulation of material having 
thermal conductivity of 0.5 W/m-K. Calculate the heat loss for 2.5 mm, 7.5 mm and 15 mm thickness of 
insulation over 1 m length. Which one is more effective thickness of insulation?
