Which of the following parameters is not responsible for the heat loss from a hot steam carrying bare pipe surface located in a room without fans ?

Correct answer: D. None of these

  • A. Emissivity of pipe surface
  • B. Diameter & length of the pipe
  • C. Temperature of hot pipe surface & that of air in the room
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Radiation and natural-convection heat loss depend on surface emissivity, pipe geometry, and the temperature difference between the pipe and room surroundings. Since all three listed factors matter, none of them is excluded.
