One vessel having a carbon-steel wall of thickness 5 mm
carrying
saturated steam and water at 423K. The vessel is insulated with magnesia of
thickness 50 mm. If the ambient air temperature is 321 K, determine the heat
loss from the vessel.
Given:
i. thermal conductivity of carbon steel is 52 W/m.K
ii. thermal conductivity of magnesia is 0.5 W/m.K
iii. surface coefficient of insulation surface is 3 W/m2.K
