An insulated steam pipe having outside diameter of 30 mm is to be covered with two layers of insulation, each having thickness of 20 mm. The thermal conductivity of one material is 5 times that of the other. Assuming that the inner and outer surface temperatures of composite insulation are fixed, how much will heat transfer be increased when better insulation material is next to the pipe than it is at outer layer?

Transcribed Image Text:An insulated steam pipe having outside diameter
of 30 mm is to be covered with two layers of
insulation, each having thickness of 20 mm. The
thermal conductivity of one material is 5 times
that of the other. Assuming that the inner and
outer surface temperatures of composite
insulation are fixed, how much will heat transfer
be increased when better insulation material is
next to the pipe than it is at outer layer?
