Given the heated jacket are in between feed and the surface, Should I calculate the heat requirements for the feed and the heat losses to the atmosphere separately and add them for total heat requirements?
I am also looking for the equation for maintaining the temperature
Thank you for the response,
The insulation of the cylinder is fiberglass which has a thermal conductivity of 0.045 W/ m.K.
The feed that is being heated can be assumed as fixed since the rate is feed addition and discharge is per day in small volume compare to total feed volume.
My aim is...
I am currently working on heating a feed with a stagnant water jacket cylinder avoiding water flow by dipping the electrical immersion heater directly at the side of the cylinder jacket. With this scenario, I would like to know what equation should I use to determine the total heat requirements...
