Steam is flowing through an insulated steel pipe shown in the fig, is losing heat to the surroundings. The details are as follows                                                                                                                                                  

Inner radius of steel pipe = 50mm,

Radius of the steel pipe = 57mm,

Outer radius of insulation = 157 mm,

Thermal conductivity of steel = 43 W/mK

Thermal conductivity of insulating material = 0.1 w/mK

Heat transfer coefficient on steam side = 570 W/m2K

Heat transfer coefficient on air side = 12W/m2K

Temperature of steam = 5000C

Temperature of surroundings = 300C

      Calculate the heat loss per meter length of pipe and temp of the outer surface of the insulation
