If it is important to control the temperature of the product, you could also install electric heat tracing along the pipe. This can of the self regulating style or mineral insulated cable with temperature control. It would require insulation to be effective, but would allow you to regulate the...
I remember solving this problem in calculus years and years ago, but am struggling with it now. I’m working with a long, weak extension spring hanging vertically, and the spring constant is small enough that the spring stretches under its own weight. How can I calculate the amount of stretch...

Conversion of electrical energy to heat energy is 100% efficient within a resistive heating element. There is no other form of energy involved (ie the electricity is not converted to light, motion, chemical energy, etc). With other devices such as motors, inefficiencies turn up as heat. With...
