Parameters
Pipe Outside Diameter 0.1 m Do
Fluid Temperature 84.1875 C Tf
Ambient Temperature 18 C Ta
Insulation Thickness 0.01 m
Insulation Thermal Conductivity 0.06 W m-1 K-1 k
Surface Temperature Estimate 40 C TsEst

Heat Transfer Calculations


Outside Diameter 0.12 m Ds
Temp Difference at Surface 22 C T
Surface Heat Transfer Coefficient 11.0164 W m-2 K-1 hs
Heat Loss 91.3677 W m-1 q
Surface Temperature Check 40 C Ts
Temperature Check 0 C

Temperature Check needs to be 0 for balanced heat transfer


Use Goal Seek to change any parameter so that
Temperature Check is 0
