Estimate the rate of heat loss per unit length from a 5 cm ID, 6 cm OD steel pipe covered with high temperature insulation having a thermal conductivity of 0.11 W/(m K) and a thickness of 1.2 cm. Steam flows in the pipe. It has a quality of 99% and is at 150°C. The unit thermal resistance at the inner wall is 0.0026 (m2 K)/W, the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 17 W/(m2 K), and the ambient temperature is 16°C.
