What helps in the heat resistance of the endospore?

What helps in the heat resistance of the endospore? Correct Answer calcium-DPA complex

All endospores contain large amounts of dipicolinic acid (DPA). It occurs in combination with large amounts of calcium and is probably located in the central part of the spore. The calcium-DPA complex plays a role in the heat resistance of endospores.

A 10 cm dia steam pipe, carrying steam at 180°C, is covered with an insulation (conductivity = 0.6 W/m.°C). It losses heat to the surroundings at 30°C. Assume a heat transfer co-efficient of 0.8 W/m2.°C for heat transfer from surface to the surroundings. Neglect wall resistance of the pipe and film resistance of steam. If the insulation thickness is 2 cms, the rate of heat loss from this insulated pipe will be
