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

∙ 14y agoThe British fire and rescue services use the following formula for calculating the pressure loss due to friction in firefighting hose: Pf = 9000 f l L2 / d5 bar where Pf is the frictional loss of pressure, in bar
f is the friction factor
f = 0.005 for 70 mm or 45 mm hose
f = 0.007 for 90 mm hose
(for 90 mm hose it is higher to allow for losses in the couplings, which are but 64 mm diameter)
l is the length of the hose line, in metres
L is the flow rate, in litres/minute
d is the hose diameter, in millimetres The formula is approximate, and relates to internally lined hose in 25 metre lengths. You will find the formula in the old Manual of Firemanship, Book 7, Hydraulics, pumps and pump operation. David Hayward, former MIFireE

∙ 14y agoThe 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...

Can you calculate pipe diameter if you have pressure head and discharge flow?
Static pressure is .434 X height Example 10 ft x .434 4.34 PSI to prove take 2.31 PSI x 4.34 To find FORCE to need to calculate the diameter of the piping and the height and then the weight of the water inside the pipe
Where can you find information about pressure sensitive adhesive?
Google "pressure sensitive adhesives". Or go to the library and find a book on adhesives.
What principle of venturi meter?
the basic principle on which a Venturimeter works is that by reducing the cross-sectional area of the flow passage, a pressure difference is created and by measuring this pressure difference, discharge through the pipe can be determined. formula to find actual discharge is=amount of fluid collected/time taken it works on the principle of bernoulli"s equation
Where can you find insulators near power lines?
look up the pole
What do you need to use to measure the pascal?
it depends on what your dealing with, room pressure is found with a barometer, to measure pressure in a flowing fluid, you can use a manometer. there are many variou ways to find pressure, but you must be specific on the circumstances
The formula used to find force is?
formula for force is pressure / area.
What is the formula to find pressure?
P=F/A Pressure=Force over area To get this you use P= N/M2
What is the use of slopes?
it is used to find the equation of lines and it is used to find the basic formula for finding angles in triangle, orthocentre, alititudes.etc
How do you find the ac low pressure port on a 1994 town and country Chrysler?
Trace the lines from the compressor. Probably toward the firewall you will find the low pressure port made to a sliver pipe.

with the use of skilled professionals to dive the pool and pressure test the lines
How do you find whether concealed water supply lines are corroded?
They will inevitably be corroded. To test for leaks,plug the end and do a pressure/time check.

How do you find the maximum number of intersections between a given number of lines?
Use the formula (n2 - n)/2 where n is the given number of lines. That gives: (12 - 1)/2 = 0 for one line, (22 - 2)/2 = 1 for two lines, (32 - 3)/2 = 3 for three lines, (42 - 4)/2 = 6 for four lines, (52 - 5)/2 = 10 for five lines, and so on.
What is the difference between interior lines and exterior?
The difference between interior lines and exterior lines are thatInterior lines: Are the lines that are in the inside of the shape or whatever you are trying to find the interior of.Exterior Lines: Are the lines that are outside of the shape or whatever you are trying to find the exterior of.
