Steel pipe (outer diameter 100 mm) is covered with two layers of insulation. The inner layer, 40 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.07 W / (m K). The outer layer, 20 mm thick, has a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W / (m K). Pipes are used to deliver steam with a pressure of 700 kPa. The temperature on the outer insulation surface is 24 ° C. If the pipe is 10 m long, determine the following: (assuming that the conduction heat transfer resistance of the steel pipe and the vapor convection resistance are negligible). a. Heat loss per hour. = Answer kJ / hour. b. Temperature between insulation layers. = Answer ° C.
