An uninsulated steam pipe of 100-mm diameter is routed through a building whose walls and air are at 27°C. Pressurized steam maintains a pipe surface temperature of 147°C, and the coefficient associated with natural convection is h =10 W/m2.K. The surface emissivity is ɛ= 0.8. What is the rate of heat loss per unit length from the steam line?
