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? | |
