asking a simplified question from the one yesterday. hopefully, if somebody can answer this, then i will be closer to answering the harder one, and this one does apply to my system.
if this is not easier, i guess there is no hope for me
lets assume
in my heat exchanger i will have 50 PSI of steam which equates to a approx internal boiler temp of 281 F.
the specific heat of the heat transfer fluid is .71 Btu/lb F at this temperature.
assuming a 1/8" stainless steel pipe thickness that is 24'' long with a .5" diameter which has a thermal conductivty of 18W/m-K will be transporting the heat transfer fluid,
what is the heat transferred?
