Example 2.22: A steel pipe 25 mm internal diameter and 33 mm outer diameter and insulated with rockwool carries steam at 451 K (178°C). If the surrounding air temperature is 294 K (21°C), calculate the rate of heat loss from one metre length of pipe. The thickness of insulation is 38 mm. Thermal conductivities of steel and rockwool are 44.97 W/(mK) and 0.175 W/(m-K) respectively. The inside and outside heat transfer coefficients are 5678 W/(m²K) and 11.36 W/(m²K) respectively. Contact resistance between the pipe and insulation may be neglected.

Example 2.22: A steel pipe 25 mm internal diameter and 33 mm outer diameter and
insulated with rockwool carries steam at 451 K (178°C). If the surrounding air temperature is
294 K (21°C), calculate the rate of heat loss from one metre length of pipe. The thickness of
insulation is 38 mm. Thermal conductivities of steel and rockwool are 44.97 W/(m.K) and
0.175 W/(m-K) respectively. The inside and outside heat transfer coefficients are 5678 W/(m²K)
and 11.36 W/(m²K) respectively. Contact resistance between the pipe and insulation may be
neglected.
