Apr 25, 2016 at 11:15 comment added Chet Miller It would take too long to explain in detail here. The heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe is a function of the Reynolds number for the flow and the Prantdl number of the fluid. Look up Dietus Boelter equation.
Apr 25, 2016 at 11:03 comment added David White Is the flow co-current or counter-current?
Apr 25, 2016 at 2:57 comment added Tom Bombadil Thanks for your insight. I believe I am looking for something specific to the pipe and the water flowing though it (I am new to this). "k" in the equation above is the thermal conductivity of the pipe material (steel) so that is already accounted for. I have water flowing on both sides of the pipe: laminar flow, low pressure, temperature between 5 degrees C and 40 degrees C. Does this help narrow things down?
