A steel pipeline of 50 mm outer diameter carries steam at 250°C. It is insulated with two layers of insulation: the inner layer is 30 mm thick with k=0.08 W/mK, and the outer layer is 20 mm thick with k=0.05 W/mK. If the ambient temperature is 25°C and the outside heat transfer coefficient is 10 W/m²K, calculate the heat loss per meter length. Neglect pipe wall resistance.
