2.a A steam pipe made of steel (K = 58 W/m-K) has ID of 160 mm and OD of 170 mm. The saturated steam flowing through it is at 300°C, while the ambient air is at 50°C. It has two layers of insulation. The inner layer (k=0.17 W/m-k) is 30 mm thick and the outer layer (k = 0.023 W/mK) is 50 mm thick. The heat transfer coefficient on inside and outside walls are 40 W/m2K and 5.8 W/m2K respectively.
