Two inches of urethane foam will reduce heat loss close to 1000% when applied to a 2-inch diameter uninsulated steel pipe. Assume the pipe wall thickness is 0.25-inches, the pipe interior convective heat loss (hi) is 500 BTU/hr-ft2-oF, and the pipe outside convective heat loss ho 20 BTU/hr-ft2-oF, k steel is 25 BTU/hr-ft-oF, and k insulaton is 0.023 BTU/hr-ft-oF. (hint - calculate heat loss with and without insulation.
