Check my post in this thread391-45669 The equation was developed and tested by none other than Dr. Willis Carrier, the father of air conditioning.

Heat loss is from evaporation and convection. I dont have the formulae but any book on heat transfer should conver both subjects.
 
Many catalogs from heat tracing companies will contain technical information in the back and heat losses from various surfaces is typically there.
