constructed from different material.
(b) A steel pipeline (k=50 W/m K ) of ID 100 mm and OD 110 mm is to be covered 07
with two layers of insulation each having a thickness of 50 mm, the thermal
conductivity of the first insulation material is 0.06 W/m K and that of the
second is 0.12 W/m K. Calculate the loss of heat per meter length of pipe and
the interface temperature between the two layers of insulation, when the
temperature of the inside tube surface is 250 0C and that of the outside surface
