A 10 cm dia steam pipe, carrying steam at 180°C, is covered with an insulation (conductivity = 0.6 W/m.°C). It losses heat to the surroundings at 30°C. Assume a heat transfer co-efficient of 0.8 W/m2.°C for heat transfer from surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. If the insulation thickness is 2 cms, the rate of heat loss from this insulated pipe will be__________________?

A. Greater than that for un-insulated steam pipe B. Less than that of the un-insulated steam pipe C. Equal to that of the un-insulated steam pipe D. Less than the steam pipe with 5 cms insulation...
