Do you know what the air temperature of a standard AC Unit usually is? I have the delta T as 70 degrees because we want the product at that temperature. That does not reflect the actual temperature of the air.
I am trying to calculate the required W/BTUs of cooling needed to cool a cosmetic product down from 140 F to room temperature at 72 F in a 30 ft tunnel.
The product is filled and then transported on a conveyor system. These products are lined one-right-after-the-other which means in a 30 ft...
Thanks everyone for your assitance. I have done a few more calculations and confirmed what prex assumed. The difference between the two pipes is minor.
Will plastic tubing retain heat better than stainless steel? I assume that answer is a yes (thermal conductivity of plastic tubing is ~ .17 W/m K vs. 16 W/m K). If I want to compare how stainless steel will lose heat vs. plastic tubing on a 5 ft line (there are various line lengths but 5 ft. is...
