A steam pipe, made of copper, has an inside diameter of 5 cm and an outside diameter of 6.2 cm. To reduce thermal loss to the surroundings, the pipe is insulated with 2.55 cm thick fiberglass. An aluminum foil of a thickness of 0.2 mm covers the insulation. Find the rate of heat loss from the pipe using the following data: hi = 142 W/m K, Ti = 150 C, ho = 68 W/m K, To = 27C, Lpipe = 98.5 m.
