Insulation Thermal Conductivity 0.045 W m-1 K-1 k
Surface Temperature Estimate 40 °C TsEst

Heat Transfer Calculations


Outside Diameter 0.292 m Ds
Temp Difference at Surface 15 °C ΔT
Surface Heat Transfer Coefficient 10.6042 W m-2 K-1 hs
Heat Loss 145.71 W m-1 q
Surface Temperature Check 39.9789 °C Ts
Temperature Check -0.02112 °C

Temperature Check needs to be 0 for balanced heat transfer


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