Problem No.2 Conduction Through Cylindrical Pipe
A hot gas at 330°C with convection coefficient 222 W/m2-K is flowing through a steel tube of outside diameter
8 cm and thickness 1.3 cm. It is covered with an insulating material of thickness 2 cm, having conductivity of
0.2 W/m-K. The outer surface of insulation is exposed to ambient air at 25°C with convection coefficient of 55
W/m2-K. Calculate the following in SI unit:
