For the Duct which supply 320 C heating air. I need to know the below following is the correct or not for method of finding the estimation minimum insulation thickness which need to maintain supply air temperature 320 C for the whole line and maintain the outer surface of insulation to 52 C.
Give
T hot = 320 C
T Outer surface of insulation = 52 C
T ambiant = 27 C
k = thermal conductivity of insulation
h = surface coefficient
Take Q insulation (Conduction) = Q surface (Convection)
(k/L)A(T hot - T Surface) = hA(T surface- T ambiant)
so L(Insulation thickness) = (k/h)(T hot - T Surface)/(T surface - T ambiant)
