Hi all,

 

I am currently at a bit of a cross roads and need some help in solving a problem.

 

I am investigating the temperature increase of a process fluid (-15*C) inside a un-insulated 32'' Sched 40 CS pipe exposed to the sun (ambient temp ranges from 30*C). 

 

Could anyone advise as to what the base equations would be and general considerations in this case?

 

Thanks in advance! :)

Thanks for the replies guys,

 

Both are very useful!

 

The fluid would be stagnant as it is in an instrument line, and the inner material would be liquid in this case.

 

Thanks!
