Two industrial steel pipes are carrying 200 °C steam. The internal diameter of both
pipes are 2.0 cm and both are insulated with 2.5 cm thicker layer of polyurethane
insulation on the outside. The wall thickness of the first pipe is 0.5 cm while the wall
of the other pipe is 2.0cm thick. The temperature at the outside surface of the
insulation is kept constant at 50 °C. Thermal conductivities of steel and
polyurethane insulation are 50 W/mK and 0.15 w/mK respectively.
Thicker pipe loss more heat
True
False
