A pipe carrying saturated steam is converged with a layer of insulation and exposed to ambient air. The thermal resistances are as shown in the following figure. (IES-96)
Which one of the following statements is correct in this regard.
- Rsteam and Rpipe negligible as compared to Rins and Rair
- Rpipe and Rair negligible as compared to Rins and Rsteam
- Rsteam and Rair negligible as compared to Rpipe and Rins
- No equantitative data is provided, therefore no comparision is possible.
