Does anyone have any data on bare pipe U values for free convection in liquids not air. (lots of data on air)
Looking for overall heat transfer data for bare pipe in liquids. I know alot of factor affect number, mainly viscosity of liquid.
I have some armstrong tank heater data which shows U values of 12-18 Btu/hr(sqft)(F) but with 3-5 fpi over viscosity of 1 to 1000 Centipose.
I'm thinking that bare pipe is somewhere around 10 Btu/hr (sqft)(F). Anyone have some old bare pipe tank heater design data?
