A metallic spiral slide (see attachment) is being constructed in the water park where children can play in the slide which is located in the water feature pond. This park is located in Dubai where ambient conditions are extremely hot and humid in the summer. To prevent hot metallic surfaces to come in contact with children while playing, chilled water pipes are to be wound inner and outer tube of the slide (as shown in attachment). The maximum ambient temperature of 46 DB is expected to reach this region, so the surface temperature of the slide is expected to reach the same value in peak summer. The expected surface temperature through chilled water circulation in pipes between the void of the slide is 30 C so that chilled can be comfortable. Appreciate, if anybody can provide guidance on the calculation of heat transfer to compute the cooling load required to cool the water in chilled water pipes.
