A steam pipe 50 mm diameter and 2.5 m long has been placed horizontally and exposed to still air at 25 degree Celsius. If pipe wall temperature is 295 degree Celsius, determine rate of heat loss. At mean temperature difference of 160 degree Celsius, rmo-physical properties of air are
k =3.64 * 10 -2 W/m K
v =30.09 * 10 -6 m2/s
P r =0.682
Β =1/160 + 273 = 2.31 * 10 -3 per K
