Heat Loss Calculations
#1

I'm totally new in heat loss calculations.I want to calculate the time required by the oil flowing in the insulated pipeline to get cooled down to 0C.
Ambient temp is -40C
Process temp is 5C
Fluid is Oil
Insulation is mineral Wool
Thickness is 1.5inch
Wind speed is 5mph
Pipeline size is 6inch
I calculated the heat loss but still need to calculate time required by my fluid to cool down to OC.

Engineer 87 ,
Please don't duplicate the posts .
Go to the search engine in this forum and key in : Pipe insulation heat loss , you will find information to answer your query . You should also consider to supply more info about your process fluid ( flow rate, temperature , viscosity , density , calorific capacity ,..).
Good luck.

Thanks Breizh,
Here is some more info.I did not get any post showing answer to my specific concern
Flow rate =7264bb/d
viscosity=5.6cp
Density=54lb/ft3
Temperature=5c

Hi ,
Also missing the length of the pipe .
I've attached a copy of a work done by Stephen Hall .
Good luck

Thanks Breizh,
My pipeline length is 100m.I have used this sheet but it does not tell me anything about time required to cool my liquid down or am i missing somethin?

Hi ,
With the data supplied and other missing ( specific heat; thermal conductivity ) , your fluid will stay around 4.9 C at the outlet . The temperature will drop below zero if you drop significantly the flow rate . If this is possible , you will need to consider tracing your line .
Hope this helps
