Calculation for Outer surface temperature of heat insulation cladding.

Data : tr -- ambient temperature = 30 C;

t0 -- inner surface temperature of heat insulation layer = 537 C ;
Ts -- surface temperature = 60 C;
1 -- thickness of each heat insulation layer = 50mm = 0.05 m ;
2 -- thickness of each heat insulation layer = 150mm = 0.15 m ;
1 -- coefficient of thermal conductivity of each heat insulation layer = 0.083479 kcal/(m.h.C)
= 0.3495 kJ/(m.h. C) ;
2 -- coefficient of thermal conductivity of each heat insulation layer = 0.086061 kcal/(m.h.C)
= 0.36032 kJ/(m.h. C) ;
d0 --outer diameter of pipe
d1 --pipe diameter with calcium sheet insulation ;
d2 -- pipe diameter with calcium sheet insulation and LRB insulation ;
Qa--Allowable Heat Loss = 200 W/m2 = 172.22 kcal/m2 hr .
