A 16 cm outer diameter and 4 mm thick pipe, carrying steam of temperature 550C, is made up of the material of co-efficient of conductivity of 45 W/mK. The steam film heat transfer coefficient is 1165 W/m2 K and air film heat transfer coefficient is 12 W/m2 K at 25C. The pipe is covered with insulating material of 4 cm thick of conductivity 0.095 W/mK. But a considerable heat leakage is observed with this arrangement. A 5 cm thick layer of magnesia insulation of co-efficient of conductivity of 0.065 W/mK is therefore proposed to add without changing other conditions. Find the thermal resistances of every layer. Also find total resistance, universal coefficient of heat transfer, rate of heat leakage for each of the arrangements.
