It is about the insulation done on the bodies, as a graph of " heat loss vs radius of insulation".

In my opinion, the increase of the heat transfer area may be a high cost.

This is because the fixed costs of the equipment (such as the cost of the shell, tube sheets, and other components) are spread over a larger surface area, leading to economies of scale.
