pips are generally cylindrical in structure of amount of heat loss through pipe is given by the formula Q= 2 pi k L(T1-T2)/ln(r2/r1) where k=conductivity of material of which pipe is made T1= temperature of inside layer pipe T2=temperature outside layer of pipe L= length of pipe r1= inner radius r2=outer radius ln=natural logrithem pi=22/7 the above condition applies for steady state flow,single layer over cylinder and neglecting conductivity convection to take conductivity convection into account term Q* must be added Q*=2 pi L{ r1 hi(Ti-T1)+r2 ho(T2-To)} hi=convective coefficient for inside layer ho=convective coefficient for outside layer Ti= temperature of inside space of pipe To=temperature of outside space of pipe for unsteady condition there is another formulaa

Why does insulation around the pipe stop it freezing?
Insulation slows down the loss of energy (heat flow) from the
water in the pipe to the surroundings. It will protect from losing
heat by convection (wind moving past the pipe removes heat faster
than stationary air). If the temperature is cold enough, for a long
enough time, eventually it will freeze, even with insulation.

What is heat loss formulae of water flow through PPR-C pipe line?
you have first to know the thermal conductivity of PPR that you
are dealing with. normally, this is in range between 0.1 to 0.24
W/MK .then you apply this formula
Q(IN WATTS) =Thermal Conductivity/MK)*A( surface area for the
pipe M2 )temperature difference between fluid inside pipe and
temprture of pipe surface K)/(thickness of the pipe M)

Does copper pipe coming from attic that feels cold when AC is running need to be insulated?
Yes. This will prevent heat loss and condensation.

Heat loss in copper pipes?
The thickness of the pipe will effect the loss rate.
Best thing to do is buy thermal isulating foam, normally comes
in tubes will a slit down one side so it can be slid over the pipe
easily. Also depending on the the fluid inside the conduit ( pipe )
and diameter, ambient temp, and location, you may be able to use a
product such as heat trace. It is an electrical wrap that uses
voltage and amperage to create heat to shield from the outer
elements...

When water is flowing through seamless steel pipe that is 36 in in diameterthe rate of discharge is 9500 gpm if the lenght of pipe is 2400 ft the friction loss in the pipe is?
49.334 psi is the pressure loss and to get the friction loss you
would need to know the smoothness of the inside of the pipe.

Difference between shock loss and friction loss?
Friction loss is the loss of energy that occurs in pipe flow due
to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. Shock loss

loss
the standard uses 75degrees on one side of a substance and the
heat loss is measured across the substance this heat loss is then
quantified by a temperature measurement of the noon standard
temperature this becomes the temperature difference in the
equation. the area is just that, in square feet and the time is in
hours and the heat loss in Btu's.
