$A$ copper pipe of length $10 \,m$ carries steam at temperature $110^{\circ} C$. The outer surface of the pipe is maintained at a temperature $10^{\circ} C$. The inner and outer radii of the pipe are $2 \,cm$ and $4 \,cm$,respectively. The thermal conductivity of copper is $0.38 \,kW / m /^{\circ} C$. In the steady state,the rate at which heat flows radially outward through the pipe is closest to ............. $\,kW$.
