Hi all,
Has anyone got any advice on solving the below problem Ideally I would like to calculate it by hand and not using Solidworks or similar but im coming to the conclusion that solving it by computer would be much easier
Basically I have a steel pipe of diameter 100mm. This pipe runs centrally through a concrete block of dimensions 1000 X 1000 X 1000mm.
The system is set-up so 400'C water is pumped through the pipe at a certain flow rate to heat up the surrounding block. If I were to then reverse the system (so the now hot block is used to heat the cold water running through the pipe) what kind of output temperature would I be getting over a certain time period and also how long would the blocks thermal mass retain the heat for
thanks in advance.
