please write the assumptions and solve the question for me .
There is a fixed part . The liquid oxygen temperature is -200C, and you will have to comment on feasibility of insulation thickness you would determine.

In a pharmaceutical plant, a copper pipe (kc=400W/mK) with inner diameter of 20 wall thickness of 2.5mm is used for carrying liquid oxygen to a storage tank. The H flowing in the pipe has an average temperature of 200C and a convection heat transfer coefficient of 120W/m2K. The condition surrounding the pipe has an ambient air temperature of 20C and a combined heat transfer coefficient of 20W/m2K. If the dew point is 10C, determine the thickness of the insulation ( kins = 0.05W/mK ) around the copper pipe to avoid condensation on the outer surface. Assume thermal contact resistance is negligible. Please also comment if the determined insulation thickness would be feasible
