RE: heat loss through pipe
Few pipeline problems seem to require that sort of rigor, but since I needed to know condensation performance of a warm 100% RH gas as it cooled to ground temperature in a decreasing-pressure environment then I don't know what steps I could have skipped. That was before the days of cheep FEA.

"Calculate the thermal performance of both insulated and uninsulated piping, ducts and equipment,
Translate Btu losses into actual dollars,
Calculate greenhouse gas emission and reductions,
et., etc."
