external heat losses in pipe
(OP)
I would like to calculate heat losses in an insultaed pipe, 100 mm of mineral wool insultaion, 300 meters length, 6", wtih inicial temperature of 362ºc
After that, how could I know final temeprature?
thanks

RE: external heat losses in pipe
There are probably dozens of postings discussing the usage of convective heat transfer equations to do exactlty this.
"know final temeprature"
Have you bothered to tell us whether you're doing a steady state or transient analysis?

You can find basic steady-state convection formulas on wikipedia. If you want something more, here's a link to a free heat transfer text book: http://web.mit.edu/lienhard/www/ahtt.html.
