An oil storage tank has 20mm steel walls covered with 50mm of fiber glass insulation. if the oil temperature is kept at 150 degree Celsius, what is the rate of heat loss when the outside temperature is 20 degree Celsius and external air coefficient is 20W/m². How much would the heat loss be reduced by doubling the thickness of the insulation?
Diagram with the tables are given below for solution:
