A cast iron pipe is used to transfer steam with an inlet temperature of 300 C. Inner radius of the pipe is 15 cm. The thickness of the pipe (k=25 W/(mK)) is 0.7 cm and there is an insulation (k=0.05 W/mK) over the pipe with a thickness of 5 cm. Environmental temperature is -8 C. Determine the steady heat loss from the pipe if the steam convection coefficient is 80 W/(m^2K) and environment convection coefficient is 25 W/(m^2K)? Is insulation thickness enough? a)197 W, yes
