I am conducting an experiment where I have a cylinder heated from the outside and a fluid flowing through the inside. I know the heat flux into the cylinder and I know the temperature at two points within the cylinder wall. However, I am not confident on the radial position of the temperature...
The the properties and thickness of the insulation is not particularly uniform and not known with any reasonable accuracy.
You are the pipe and the heating wire surrounding the pipe are reasonably circular, however the insulation is not. You are correct and the insulated pipe is in free...
I am working on a problem where I am heating a hollow cylinder from the outside with a NiCr wire which is then insulated. The pipe is cooled by running water through the center of the hollow pipe. I would like to find the heat flux transfer rate outward.
So my set up from the inside to the...
