A steam line is insulated with 15 cm of rock wool. The steam line is a 5 cm OD iron pipe with a 5 mm thick wall. Estimate the heat loss through the pipe per meter length if steam at 120ºC is in the line and the surrounding temperature is 20ºC. Also determine the temperature distribution through the pipe and insulation.
