Steam flows in an insulated pipe at a temperature 130 C. The inside heat transfer coefficient is 79 W/m2-K and the outside coefficient is 15 W/m2-K. The pipe is mild steel (k=57 W/m-K) and has an inside radius of 50 mm and an outside radius of 57 mm. the pipe is covered with a 25.4 mm layer( k=0.09 W/m-K). Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient if the surrounding air temperature is 21.1 C.

Steam flows in an insulated pipe at a temperature 130 C. The inside
heat transfer coefficient is 79 W/m2-K and the outside coefficient is 15
W/m2-K. The pipe is mild steel (k=57 W/m-K) and has an inside radius
of 50 mm and an outside radius of 57 mm. the pipe is covered with a
25.4 mm layer( k=0.09 W/m-K). Determine the overall heat transfer
coefficient if the surrounding air temperature is 21.1 C.
