hi,

and how did you find out U?

For Reactor SS316/ MS , I considered it as 400 W/(m2.K).....For GLR 100 W/(m2.K)

ashishmali28,

I recommend you buy Crane Technical Paper No. 410 (TP-410). It is the quintessential guide to understanding the flow of fluid through valves, pipes and fittings, enabling you to select the correct equipment for your piping system.

Originally developed in 1942, the latest edition of Crane TP-410 has been fully updated to reflect the latest knowledge and research in the fluid handling industry. The TP-410 has served as an indispensable technical resource for over 60 years to specifying engineers, designers and engineering students.

It is the reference I use most frequently, and it is very economical. Buy it here: TP-410



Good luck,
Latexman
