Question:

Steam pipes are sometimes carelessly buried in the earth without insulation. Consider a 10-cm pipe carrying steam at 150ºC buried at a depth of 23 cm to centerline. The buried length is 100 m. Assuming that the earth thermal conductivity is 1.2W/m· ºC and the surface temperature is 15ºC, estimate the heat lost from the pipe.
