2. The end of a steel pipe is capped with a hemisphere which had diameter 24.45 cm and a thickness of 12.5 mm. The pipe contains superheated steam at 245°C

and the external temperature without lagging is 244.5 °C.To achieve a safe working temperature of 45°C, calculate the minimum thickness of insulation with a thermal conductivity of 0.55W/mK required. Assume the rate of heat is constant
