Superheated steam at an average temperature 200 C is transported through a steel pipe (k=50 W/mK, D_0=8.0 cm,D_i=6.0 cm,and L=20.0 m). The pipe is insulated with a 4-cm thick layer of gypsum plaster (k=0.5 W/mK). The insulated pipe is placed horizontally inside a warehouse where the average air temperature is 10 C. The steam and the air heat transfer coefficients are estimated to be 800 and 200 W/m^2 K, respectively. Calculate (a) the daily rate of heat transfer from the superheated steam, and (b) the temperature on the outside surface of the gypsum plaster insulation.
