AI Thread Summary
To calculate the temperature of air 100mm away from a 300mm diameter steel pipe at 200°C, the material properties and environmental conditions must be specified. The pipe's unpainted steel composition affects heat transfer calculations, which can be influenced by factors like convection and radiation. Relevant resources for understanding heat loss and temperature calculations include links to engineering tools for convective heat transfer and steel pipe heat loss. The discussion emphasizes the need for precise details about the setup to provide accurate temperature estimates. Accurate calculations require understanding both the heat flux from the pipe and the properties of the surrounding air.

Hi Guys,

Is there an easy way to determine this?

Say I have a 300mm Dia Pipe that @ 200deg C, ambient temp 30gec C.

What would be the Temp 100mm away from the surface.

Thanks in advance

You need to specify what the pipe is made of, if it is painted/coated etc. Also you need to specify the composition of what you are measuring 100 mm away (another pipe? your face? air?) in order to determine what the temperature of that object would be. Otherwise you can only calculate the heat flux of the pipe.

The pipe is made of unpainted steel and I would like to know the temp of air.
 
So if I had a 300mm X 600mm Steel Plate who's surface temp is 200deg C

What would be the temp of Air 100mm From the surface?

What the equation to work this out?

Thanks
 
Bump, Help Please
 
Anyone?
