Thanks IRstuff.
I think I didn't explain the problem well though, too much information is missing. What I am trying to do is to control the temperature of the water downstream of a long plastic pipe. I can control the input temperature by mixing cold (15°C) and hot (55°C) water in a mixing...
Thanks for your reply IRstuff,
No it's not for school, it's for an interface i'm working on. I wish to simulate the system behavior but to do so i would need a better knowledge of the right equations.
I used the nusselt number, which basically is the biot number for a surface and a fluid flow...
Hi all,
I'm trying to calculate the heat losses as well as the thermal time constant of a system with a forced water flow inside a horizontal plastic pipe. This is in order to determine what temperature and flow i should input to have a certain desired water temperature downstream of the pipe...
