Reconsider Prob. 20–34. To reduce the heating cost of the pipe, it is proposed to insulate it with sufficiently thick fiberglass insulation (k = 0.035 W/m · °C) wrapped with aluminum foil (ε = 0.1) to cut down the heat losses by 85 percent. Assuming the pipe temperature to remain constant at 25°C, determine the thickness of the insulation that needs to be used. How much money will the insulation save during this 10-h period?
