Chemical Engineering > GATE 2026 > Conduction through Cylindrical Insulation
A pipe with outer diameter of 0.02 m, carries hot water. The temperature at the outer surface of the pipe is 70 °C. This pipe is covered with two concentric layers of insulation, each having a thickness of 0.01 m. The first layer (adjacent to the pipe) is made up of felt material (thermal conductivity kf = 0.12 W m−1 °C−1), and the next layer is made up of asbestos (thermal conductivity kas = 0.15 W m−1 °C−1). The insulated pipe is exposed to ambient air at 20 °C. The convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer insulation layer is 3 W m−2 °C−1. At steady state, neglecting heat transfer due to radiation, the heat loss at the outer insulation layer (in W m−1) is _____ (rounded off to two decimal places).

Correct : 16.04
