Extened fins heat transfer calculation
Extened fins heat transfer calculation
(OP)
Friends,
I am interested in providing a extended transverse fins for a small piece of straight piping on my sealing fluid return line in one of my pumps which has no provision of cooling the hot return fluid. Since we have no cooling water as a utility we are planning to provide fins on the pipe surface. I would like to know how to go about arriving at the heat transfer area and the calculations for fins.essentially fin dia and no of fins, typical MOCof fins etc. If anyone coyuld refer a good book or calculatuion steps that would be fine.
