    The document calculates the rate of heat transfer from the outer surface of insulated pipe to ambient air and from the pipe surface to the insulation outer surface. It provides the parameters used in the calculations such as temperatures, diameters, insulation thickness, thermal conductivity, and determines the heat transfer coefficients and rates. The insulation thickness is found to be 150 mm and the calculated rates of heat transfer from the outer insulation surface to air and from the pipe surface to insulation outer surface are 83.45W and 86.13W respectively.
