A pipe with outer diameter of , carries hot water. The temperature at the outer surface of the pipe is . This pipe is covered with two concentric layers of insulation, each having a thickness of . The first layer (adjacent to the pipe) is made up of felt material (thermal conductivity ), and the next layer is made up of asbestos (thermal conductivity ). The insulated pipe is exposed to ambient air at . The convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer insulation layer is . At steady state, neglecting heat transfer due to radiation, the heat loss per unit length at the outer insulation layer (in ) is _____ (rounded off to two decimal places).
