    Calculating temperature drop through stainless steel

    Hi All, thank you for the comments. I agree that as soon as the helium heats up the cylinder it will immediately begin to cool and the problem is not as simple as I thought. I will model the heat increase with several thermocouples and hope that helps. Thanks

    Calculating temperature drop through stainless steel

    Thanks for all the responses, apologies for not providing enough information. The stainless steel cylinder is approx 10 cm long with a 0.4 mm wall. The temperature increase was defined using the Joule-Thomson coefficient for He as it is expansion from a gas cylinder into this smaller...

    Calculating temperature drop through stainless steel

    Hi, I am not a thermodynamics person, so apologies for the (possibly easy) question. I have a stainless steel cylinder and I insert a helium into it. The helium should warm by 1.95 deg (due to Joule-Thomson), but I want to know the temperature on the outside wall of the stainless steel...
