where
n -- outer radius of second layer of insulation, inches.
r, " outer radius of last layer of insulation, inches.
Hie method of solving Equation 2, which is the most diffi
cult of the two, is given in Example 3.
Example 3: Compute the heat loss per linear foot of pipe sur face per hour from a 6-in. pipe, insulated with a 3-in. tht/rlme^ of 1600 F diatomaceous earth, and a nominal 2-in. thiclrnnes of 85 percent magnesia. The pipe is operating at a temperature of 1200 F and is exposed to a room temperature of 80 F.
Solution: In figuring the heat lass from Equation 2, it is neoesary to first make an assumption for the outer surface tem perature U and the temperature between the diatomaceous earth and 85-percent magnesia insulation, so that the mean tempera ture of each material can be obtained and the thermal conduc tivity corresponding to the mean temperature of each material substituted in the equation. First assume an outer surface tem perature of 135 F and a temperature of 570 F between the two materials corresponding to a mean temperature of (1200 + 570) -j- 2 or 885 F for the diatomaceous earth and (570 + 135) -f2 or 3525 F for the 85 percent magnesia insulation. The conduc tivities of these two materials at mean temperatures of 885 and 3525 F, interpolated from Table 1, are 0.677 and 0.466 Btu, re spectively.

These values are substituted in Equation 2 and a trial calcula tion made.
The actual thir-knega of diatomaceous earth covering is 3.095 in. and that of the 85 percent magnesia is 2.125 in. For a nominal 6-in. steel pipe: -- 3512, r* = 6.407, and r -- 8532. Then,

The mean temperatures of the two insulations corresponding to the new asumptions are (1200 + 545) -* 2 -- 8725, and (545 +
129) 2 ~ 337, and the interpolated conductivities correspond ing to the new mean temperatures are 0675 and 0.461 for the
diatomaceous earth and 85 percent magnesia, respectively. By substituting in Equation 2

The temperature drop from the outer surface of the insulation to tbe surrounding air tor a heat loss of 785 Btu is found from Fig. 5 to be 495 deg for a 17-in. OD cylindrical surface, or 495 + 80 F room temperature -- 1295 F surface temperature. Since a surface temperature of 135 F was assumed, it is evident that a temperature closer to 1295 F, or, for instance, 129 F should be used for recalculation:
1200 - 129 9. 853 + 554 785 Btu.
Since the temperature drop through each material is equal to the heat Sow times the actual resistance of each material, the temperature drop through the diatomaceous earth is 785 X 853 = 657 F, or the temperature between the two insulating materials is (1200 -- 657) = 543 F. Since a temperature of 570 F between the two materials was asumed, it is obvious that a temperature closer to 543, or for instance 545 F may be selected.
