In an atmospheric environment with a temperature of 2 5 C and a heat transfer coefficient of 5 W m 2 K , blood flows

In an atmospheric environment with a temperature of 25C and a heat transfer coefficient of 5Wm2K, blood flows through a pipe with an
outer diameter of 6cm. Assuming the external surface temperature of the pipe is steady at 220C under all the following conditions:
Find the heat flux in the uninsulated case. (15p)
Insulation up to the critical radius thickness around the pipe with a plastic material with a heat conduction coefficient of 0.2WmK. If this is done, what percentage will be the difference in the heat flux compared to the uninsulated case in option a?(20p)
Show with a graph whether the insulation increases heat transfer. Finding the minimum insulation thickness find it if necessary. (30p)
Insulate the pipe with 5cm thick glass wool with a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.04WmK instead of plastic material. Comment on the situation by drawing a graph in terms of insulation? (15p)
What percentage is the difference in heat flux, taking into account the insulated case in and the uninsulated case in a(20p)
