Physics · Heat Transfer
The critical radius of insulation for a cylindrical pipe is given by (where h is the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surrounding medium and k is the thermal conductivity of the insulating material):
- 1r = h/k
- 2r = 2h/k
- 3r = k/h✓
- 4r = 2k/h
Correct answer
r = k/h
